About the Book

The Power of Stata Graphics at Your Fingertips

Whether you are new to Stata graphics or a seasoned veteran, this book teaches you how to use Stata to make high-quality graphs that stand out and enhance statistical results. With over 900 illustrated examples and quick-reference tabs, it offers a guide to creating and customizing graphs for any type of statistical data using either Stata commands or the Graph Editor. The author displays each graph example in full color with simple and clear instructions. He shows how to produce various types of graph elements, including marker symbols, lines, legends, captions, titles, axis labels, and grid lines.

Reflecting the new graphics features of Stata, this thoroughly updated and expanded edition contains a new chapter that explains how to exploit the power of the new Graph Editor. This edition also includes additional examples and illustrates nearly every example with the Graph Editor.
