Creating graphs from Stata on fmrisc.bc.edu


Stata has elaborate graphing facilities, but you will not be able to see what you can get on a "dumb terminal" emulator--you need to run a desktop version of Stata on the Macintosh or PC to do that. However you can get laser-printed graphs out of mainframe Stata, and print them on the HP LaserJet printer in Carney 136. Here's an example:

graph price mpg, saving(yourfile)
shell gphpen -dps yourfile
shell lpr yourfile.ps
