Panel Data Graphs with xtline - Restricting ID variable

[Mark Healy]

Dear All,

I have a data set with panel data, which covers 27 countries and 100 years. I want to show one variable in one xtline graph for only 8 of those 27 countries. Currently, I am coding:

. xtline var1 if var1 > 5, overlay i(country) t(year)

The result is a graph with 27 countries, which is quite confusing because it uses the same labels and colours for some of them.

I would like to restrict i(country) to show only countries 1, 7, 8, 17, 20, 22, 24 and 27. Is there a way to do that?

Kind regards,

Mark
