SLIDE 3

The problem

  • Quegging (Quick Exploratory Graphing)
  • Stata’s graph combine too complicated
  • need to produce single graphs first
  • combine using graph combine
  • does not support wildcards in graph names

. hist SCL_01, percent name(scl01) . hist SCL_02, percent name(scl02) . graph combine scl0* . scl0* is not a memory graph r(198);

The problem

. ssc install grcomb

  • requires ≥ Stata 10

Enter grcomb

. grcomb graph command var1[*#] var2[*#]

var3[*#] var4[*#] [...] [if] [in] , varblock(#) [order(abab|aabb) name(name[, replace]) draw feedback graph options]

grcomb syntax

Feedback on progress Draw single graphs grcomb automatically names your graph uniquely

SLIDE 12

Limits & improvements

  • Combined length of variable names

cannot exceed 244

  • o

( abab)is default; should be o ( aabb)

  • No options of graph combine
  • No other luxury
  • The first two will be addressed in a

future update on SSC

  • The second two are features
