How to display few IDs while maintaining the whole sample distribution in Fabplot?

[Bo Yu]

Dear Statalist,


Could anyone advise how to display only a few IDs while maintaining the whole sample distribution in Fabplot? In my case, the ID is the city's pinyin.

My code is such that

fabplot scatter Mgt_NAgrUrb year , by(pinyin)

. The default fabplot display all of the cities' distribution of Mgt_NAgrUrb over the year (in the attachment)

Fabplot is an awesome package but the discussion on using it seems scant. Thank you very much in advance.

Regards.

It took a year and a day but this is now done: https://www.statalist.org/forums/for...e-on-ssc/page3

fabplot is from SSC, as you are asked to explain. There is no option for doing what you want. It's something I have thought about, but I have no idea when I will get to implementing it.

Hi Nick, thank you very much for reply! Again, it is an awesome command. Looking forward to your package update.
Cheers,
Bo
