Keep displaying two graphs

[Prospero Barros]

Dear Stata experts,

I have one question: I want to display at the same time two windows of graphs generated with the command graph combine.

For the first combination I do this

hist ideologia, norm name(G1) nodraw
kdensity ideologia, norm name(G2) nodraw
graph combine G1 G2

Later in the dofile i do this

twoway (histogram ideologia if joven==1, start(0) width(1) color(red)) ///
(histogram ideologia if joven==0, start(0) width(1) ///
fcolor(none) lcolor(black)), legend(order(1 "Menores de 30" 2 "Mayores de 30" )) name(G7) nodraw

twoway (kdensity ideologia if joven==1, width(1) color(red)) ///
(kdensity ideologia if joven==0, width(1) ///
fcolor(none) lcolor(black)), legend(order(1 "Menores de 30" 2 "Mayores de 30" )) name(G8) nodraw

graph combine G7 G8

But when I execute the dofile the first combination of graphics appears but inmediately is substituted with the second one. I want to keep the two graphs combinations (displayed in different windows) when i run the dofile. Is that possible? How?

Thank you in advance.

I don't know how to have both shown in the stata graph window, but you can always export the combined graphs and open them using the standard windows/... tools

You can add the name() option, this will prevent the graph "overwriting" each other. For example:

sysuse auto
scatter price mpg, name(price)
scatter weight mpg, name(weight)

You can also add the -set autotabgraphs on- and reduce the number of windows by using tabs in one window.

set autotabgraphs on

sysuse auto
scatter mpg weight, by(for) name(a, replace)
scatter price mpg, by(for) name(b, replace)
