.- help for ^mnthplot^ .- Scatter plot for monthly data with repetition of data ----------------------------------------------------- ^mnthplot^ yvarlist mnthvar [weight] [^if^ exp] [^in^ range] [ ^, p^ad^(^#^)^ graph_options ] Description ----------- ^mnthplot^ produces a scatter plot for yvarlist versus mnthvar with some repetition of data. mnthvar is presumed to take values 1,...,12 for the 12 months of the year. A pad of # months is added so that 12 + # months are shown on the horizontal axis. Showing (12 + #) / 12 annual cycles, where # is say 3 or 6, may give a better picture of seasonal variation by reducing the visual effect of the break at the end of the year. Options ------- ^pad(^#^)^ adds a pad of # months at the right of the horizontal axis. Default 0. Minimum 0, maximum 12. graph_options are any of the options allowed with ^graph, twoway^; see help for ^graph^. Examples -------- . ^mnthplot sales month, pad(6) xla(1/18)^ Author ------ Nicholas J.
