marginsplot generating hard-to-read pictures

[Michal Krawczyk]

Dear All,
I am running
> marginsplot, recast(scatter)
to illustrate margins & CIs and what results is a mess. Now, there is a lot empty space in the pic and it would look just fine if I could spread it along the x axis a bit. Any ideas?
thanks in advance
Michal

Take a look at Nick Winter's -mplotoffset- (ssc describe mplotoffset).

sysuse auto
qui reg price i.rep##i.fore
qui margins i.rep, over(fore)
marginsplot, recast(scatter) name(gr1,replace)
mplotoffset, recast(scatter)  offset(.2)

that's what I needed, thanks! though it only works on one of our comps (with stata 16), on another (stata 14) it says "command mplotoffset is unrecognized"
