Objectives

The Objectives of this lecture are:Introduction to Line GraphsCombining More than one Graph in One Window

4

Line Graphs

We draw a line graph of ‘year’ vs le_male’. i.e; year vs lifeexpectancy of males.Go to Graphics

Æ^ Easy graphs

Æ^ Line graph

5

Line Graphs

A dialogue box appears:Select^ ‘year’^

as ‘X variable’ and

‘le_male’^ as ‘Y-variable’. Click OK.

7

Line Graphs

Save this Graph.To^ save,^ just

right^ click^

by^ mouse on the Graph are and choose save tosave it with name ‘male.gph’.Next draw the line graph b/w ‘year’and ‘le_female’ and save it with thename ‘female.gph’.Note^ that^ all

the^ graphics

files^ in stata have extension ‘*.gph’.

8

Combining Graphs

Now we combine these two lines graph(male.gph & female.gph).Go to Graphics Menu

Æ^ Select ‘Table of Graphs’.
