Standard Error Bar Chart
editStandard Error Bar Chart are very useful to displain confidence interval.
. clear . set obs 100 obs was 0, now 100 . gen id = _n . expand 10 (900 observations created) . gen u = id/30 + invnorm(uniform()) . collapse (mean) mean = u (sd) sd = u, by(id) . local s = invnorm(.975) * 97,5 percentile of the normal distribution . serrbar mean sd id , scale(`s')
Setting for Graphics

- The scheme defines the general appearance of the graph.
- You can download more scheme on the Visual Guide to Stata Graphics website :

Exporting/Saving graphics
editYou can export a graph to png, jpg, ps or pdf format by using once the graph is done the graph export command.
. tw sc y x . gr export graph.png, replace
See h gr export to see the list of all available graph devices.
You can also store a graph in the Stata graph format using the graph save command. This format can only be read by Stata.
