Abstract. Table-like graphs can be interesting, useful, and even mildly innovative.
This column outlines some Stata techniques for producing such graphs. graph
dot is likely to be the most under-appreciated command among all existing
commands. Using by() with various choices is a good way to mimic a
categorical axis in many graph commands. When graph bar or graph
dot is not flexible enough to do what you want, moving to the more
flexible twoway is usually advisable. labmask and seqvar are introduced as
new commands useful for preparing axis labels and axis positions for
categorical variables. Applications of these ideas to, e.g., confidence
interval plots lies ahead.
