Plots of confidence intervals 

        ciplot varlist [if exp] [in range] [weight] [, by(byvar) missing
                 ci_options [horizontal | vertical] rcapopts(rcap_options)
                 scatter_options]


Description

    ciplot produces a display of means and confidence intervals.  Means are
    shown by point symbols and intervals by capped bars.  ci is used for the
    calculations.  aweights and fweights are allowed; see help on weights.


Remarks 

    (note added August 2011)

    For fuller flexibility, consider using statsby first and then standard
    graphics commands (Cox 2010).


Options

    by() defines a grouping variable, which is treated as categorical, not
        measured.

    missing, applicable only with by(), specifies that results for groups
        with missing values of byvar should be included in the display.  The
        default is to exclude them.

    ci_options are options of ci apart from separator().

    horizontal produces a horizontal display. The default is vertical.

    rcapopts(rcap_options) refers to other options of graph twoway rcap.

    scatter_options refers to options of graph twoway scatter.
