display logistic regression output more compactly (65 characters width)

[Matthias Schonlau]

I would like to include logistic regression output in latex, but for this particular article I am restricted to a certain width that corresponds to roughly 65 characters of regular font size. I would like to use the actual logistic regression output, rather than converting the output to a table.

The command
set linesize 65
works; however it results in ugly wrapping that reduces readability of the output.

I have tried to set the number of digits shown (set cformat) , but the logistic regression output still has its usual width. Example:

sysuse auto
set cformat %5.2f
logit foreign trunk price mpg

There is lots of space between the columns. Is there any way of reducing the space between the column to get a more compact output?

You should look at one of the user-written routines for making tables for publication - estout, outreg2, etc. A quick search will give you more options. I like outreg2, but that is perhaps just that I used to it. Many of these use tables or tabs to align text making it easy to change the alignment afterwards.
