Title

    mm_plot() -- Draw plot using Stata's graph twoway command


Syntax

               void  mm_plot(X [, plottype, options])

        real scalar  _mm_plot(X [, plottype, options])


    where

            X:  real matrix containing data (rows are observations, columns
                variables)

     plottype:  string scalar specifying type of twoway plot (see help 
                twoway; default is "scatter")

      options:  string scalar specifying options to be passed on to the graph
                command


Description

    mm_plot(X) draws a twoway plot from the contents of X using Stata's graph
    twoway command. The columns of X are the variables to be plotted.
    mm_plot() aborts with error if the graph command cannot be executed
    successfully.

    _mm_plot() performs the same action as mm_plot() but returns the
    appropriate Stata return code instead of aborting with error if the graph
    command cannot be executed successfully.


Remarks

    Examples:

        . mata: mm_plot(uniform(100,2))

        . mata: mm_plot(sort(uniform(10,3),3),"line")

        . mata: mm_plot(uniform(100,2), "", "msymbol(Th)")


Conformability

    mm_plot(X, plottype, options):
           X:  n x k
    plottype:  1 x 1
     options:  1 x 1
      result:  void

    _mm_plot(X, plottype, options):
           X:  n x k
    plottype:  1 x 1
     options:  1 x 1
      result:  1 x 1


Diagnostics

    None.
