Horizontally labelled plots showing confidence intervals --------------------------------------------------------

Description -----------

^cihplot^ produces a display of means and confidence intervals for different variables, or for different groups of a single variable defined by the ^by^ option.

^ci^ is used for the calculations. ^hplot^ is used for the graphical display.

Options -------

^by(^byvar^)^ defines a grouping variable. It is only allowed when a single variable is specified.

^level(^#^)^, ^poisson^, ^binomial^ and ^exposure(^varname^)^ are all options of ^ci^. See help on @ci@.

^total^ adds a final line showing the mean and confidence interval for all groups specified. It is only allowed in conjunction with ^by( )^.

^twotier^ adds a 50% confidence interval to the default interval determined by ^level( )^. Typically, but not necessarily, this 50% interval will be inside the default interval. ^shown^ specifies that the number of values should be shown in the ^rlegend( )^. By default this is right-justified with a horizontal position ^rlpos(31500)^.

hplot_options are any options of ^hplot^. See help on @hplot@.

^range^ and ^line^ are wired in.

^symbol^ defaults to ^"|O|"^ (vertical bars for the limits and a circle for the mean) or, if ^twotier^ is specified, to ^"|,O,|"^ (that and shorter vertical bars for the 50% limits).

Example -------

. ^cihplot length, by(grade) xla(0(200)1200)^ ^t2(means and 95% confidence intervals)
