As Stata graphics commands are filled with many deep and overly-complicated "rabbit holes," it's nice to come across developments that make nice, if small, improvements. A new user-created updated command, statsplot, does just that.

One example comparing output from the standard graph bar command (A) and what statsplot can generate (B) follows. (Additional examples, with coding suggestions, are discussed here.)
