While the graphics functions in Stata remain among the more cumbersome and nettlesome, helpful external resources exist for those interested in a quick primer.
Among the more helpful remains Maarten Buis (Konstanz) workshop (click here). To get the most out of the site requires that users access (in Stata) the 1978 "training" auto data set. To do so, simply enter the following command to grab the data: sysuse auto
With the training auto data set, users can follow along and practice generating graphs ranging from the more basic (e.g., line, scatter, and bar graphs) to the more complex (e.g., twoway, stacking, and predicted probability graphs).
