Any way to use cibar graphs in STATA 12

[Abbas Raza]

As per my search we use cibar command to make graphs in STATA 13 and onwards. If it is true, is there any to use cibar command in STATA12?


Thanks,
Abbas

TITLE
      'CIBAR': module to plot bar graphs and confidence intervals over groups

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
      
       cibar plots bars and confidence intervals of the mean of a
      variable over at least one group.  cibar aims at drawing graphs
      that resemble graphs created by graph bar varname, over(varname)
      asyvar,  adding confidence intervals to the bars. In order to do
      so, cibar uses Stata's twoway bar and twoway rcap. cibar shows
      graphically the differences in the mean of a variable depending
      on the categories of other variables.

You are asked to identify where user written commands come from. Given the description of the program in the SSC it does not appear that it is compatible. That said, you can likely modify the version line in the .ado file (probably something like - version 13 - to - version 12 - to see if that will work, realizing that there are no guarantees that it will.

This program doesn't use Mata, so the question is quite off-topic in this forum.

William gives good advice, however.

http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/pr...stata-version/ discusses the problem here.

Note that while working this program creates new variables with names that may clash with your own. If it falls over, you will not, however, lose your original data.

Thanks both.
Nick, posted here by mistake and then searched for the deleting post option but couldn't find.

Abbas Raza I think you may need to email one of the site admins and ask them to move the thread to the general section.
