problems creating a graph, diagram, etc.

[Anja Rollkragen]

Hello,
Creating a graph, a diagram etc. doesn't work in my Stata program. The small box, that usually shows the graph opens, but then it says " drawn_margin.set2gm: class type not found".
Can someone help me with that?
Thank you

I think we need to see what command you typed and ideally a data example too.

[Anja Rollkragen]

For example I used the command: "graph bar, over (v43)" or "hist age"

My Data set is from the ISSP 2018 Germany: https://search.gesis.org/research_data/ZA7570

[Nick Cox]

I can't see any reason why either command would produce the error message you showed. Still true that we need see more details to comment usefully. The only wild explanation I can offer is that your Stata installation was messed up.

I get the exact same error. The command I typed is

twoway (line stock_country year if country=="FR", sort)

I use data from the IFR and generated the variable stock_country summing the operationalstock by country and year

[Mike Lacy]

A simple diagnostic: Can Anja or Leonie produce their same errors on a simple and publicly available data set, e.g.,

sysuse auto
graph bar rep78, over(foreign)
hist weight

If these produce errors, I'd suspect per Nick's comment that your Stata installations are corrupted.
