Exporting of Stata Graphs as .png

[Donald Likosky]

I am using Stata/IC 14.2 for Windows (64-bit). I am also using Windows 10
I have a long .do file where I export hundreds of graphs currently as *.png. The graphs are both box plots and bar charts, with footnotes, legends, etc. I then use Visual Basic code to automate bringing them into PowerPoint 2016 for distribution and viewing. The PowerPoint uses a height of 6.28" / width of 8.63".
Currently the graphs look quite fuzzy when imported. I also tried using .EPS and they didn't look that clear.

Does Stata have an option to export the graphs to be the same size as what PowerPoint is looking for?

Thank you.
Donny

Dear Donald,

I am not certain what you expect what "the same size as what PowerPoint is looking for" is, but you can control the export size rather easy:

sysuse auto , clear
twoway scatter price mpg [aweight=displacement], msymbol(o) mfcolor(cyan%20)
graph export testExport.png
graph export testExportPPTsize.png , width(1500) height(1100)

for more on this, consult the help file:

Happy graphing!
