Boxplots

[Josh Stead]

Hi, I am relatively new to stata,

I was wondering if anyone had an advice on how to get box plots next to each other?

I have 4 repeated measures scores over time

I would like the box plot for each score 1 for smokers and none smokes next to each other, then score 2 nor smokers next to each other and so on on the same plot.

I have tried -graph box tscore1 tscore2 tscore3 tscore 4, over( msmoke)- but this displays score1,2,3,4 for non smokers next to each other then a new graph of the same for smokers

thanks

Hello Josh,

Welcome to the Stata Forum.

You may wish to present a brief dispay of your data, as recommended in the FAQ.

That said, please check whether this example applies to your expectations:

. sysuse bpwide.dta
(fictional blood-pressure data)

. graph box bp_after, over(sex) over(agegrp)

. graph box bp_after, over(agegrp) over(sex)

Best,

Marcos
