Circular data options issue

[Sasha Leclerc]

I am examining aspect data and would like to display this using circrplt.

However, I am having issues when I attempt to use options and I am receiving error messages that none of the options I have tried are allowed. I am trying to change the height and width of the markers, along with the background colour for the plot, however it will not allow me to. Even when trying to edit the graph by opening the graph editor, I receive a message saying that the 'graph is not live and therefore cannot be edited'.

Any advice on how to solve this or as to why it doesn't seem to be working please?
Thanks in advance!

(I have seen this question asked before however the response doesn't seem to solve my example unfortunately- It does return that I am using " *! NJC 1.3.2 23 December 1998).

That's a program almost 21 years old written for Stata 5. There's no way that it is compatible with graph syntax or the Graph Editor introduced in Stata 8 and later.

I can't comment on a post you don't reference precisely.

Use a data example to show your aspect data and I will make some suggestions.

Apologies for that. The previous post was: https://www.statalist.org/forums/for...0060-circrplot.

I am unable to find any aspect data in the example Stata datasets that I could use to illustrate my point.

What I have is some aspect values for mudflows occurring on different slopes and I would like to present this data in a circular manner like a compass as I see is possible here: https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/6410809.pdf. Using the command circrplt aspectslope produces this graphic. What would the commands be to follow the comma after this command so that I could space the circles out so they no longer overlap please, and that the color of the plot can be changed?

I am asking for your data, not anybody else's.

There is just one circle in a graph produced by circrplt, so I don't understand that question.

But there is no need for you to use circrplt at all unless you are using Stata 5, 6 or 7.

ssc install circular 

will install a more recent version of the program called circrplot. I have a yet more recent version that is not public.

That seems to be where I've gone astray. All works perfectly now- thanks for your help!
