Two Way Graphs in STATA

From Rob Lieberthal:

If you are using the graph twoway command to create graphs in Stata will render the graph in the same order as your command. For example:

graph twoway (scatter mpg car_weight) (lfitci mpg car_weight)

Will produce a scatter plot of mpg as a function of car_weight, then overlay the fitted line with 95% confidence interval on top of the scatter plot. The confidence interval will cover up most of your scatter plot points. If you want Stata to show the points over the confidence interval, switch the order of the scatter and lfitci commands like so:

graph twoway (lfitci mpg car_weight) (scatter mpg car_weight)
