Using distplot to generate a reverse cumulative distribution curve

[Nicole Basta]

Hello, I am using the user-written command "distplot" from Nick Cox (Stata Journal) in Stata/SE for Mac 13.1.

I would like to create a reverse cumulative distribution curve to display the proportion of participants (y-axis) with values greater than or equal to values of the outcome (x-axis). For example, I would like something similar to the following:

sysuse auto
distplot turn if rep78==2, reverse(ge) recast(line)

However, I would like the plot to display as a true step function, so that the lines connecting the proportions are horizontal (similar to a survival curve).

Is there a straightforward way to do this?

Thank you,
Nicole

Use the connect(J) option.

That works perfectly. Thank you, Nick.
