Greetings, I am not yet able to provide a dataex sample that runs what I'm doing (sorry - my inefficiency is noted), but I can show an image of my actual problem, the code I used to create that graphical problem, and then provide a demo example which I believe reflects the same problem, using an example dataset from Stata.
Actual problem: I'm using the user-written combomarginsplot (SSC). When separating plots from two files using marginsplots's by() option, I cannot figure out how to customize certain text separately in each graph. Specifically, I want to place text over the second graph only, and the subtitle or label space is already spoken for. This is the code I used, which places the text over both graphs in the form of a note in file#opts positioned north:
I need that note text to be on top of the second graph but not the first graph. I believe I've got a comparable demo here of the sample problem.
This could be because of how combomarginsplot works, by appending the saved margins file (so that I do not have two "files" for which I can declare options anymore?), but the help file says I can use file#opts, so I am guessing I'm not clear on how this works. I welcome anyone's advice. Thanks for your time.

I need that note text to be on top of the second graph but not the first graph. I believe I've got a comparable demo here of the sample problem.
Code:
*starting with example from combomarginsplot help file sysuse auto oprobit rep78 i.foreign mpg price weight margins foreign, at(mpg=(10(5)50)) expression(predict(outcome(1))+predict(outcome(2))) saving(file4, replace) margins foreign, at(mpg=(10(5)50)) expression(predict(outcome(4))+predict(outcome(5))) saving(file5, replace) *making g1 combomarginsplot file4 file5 , labels("Outcomes 1&2" "Outcomes 4&5") noci /// title("file#opts works as expected here") /// file1opts(pstyle(p1) color(purple) lpattern(solid) msize(huge)) /// file2opts(pstyle(p2) color(pink) lpattern(dash) msize(small)) /// legend(pos(0)) /// savefile(g1, replace) /// name(g1, replace) *making g2 combomarginsplot file4 file5 , labels("Outcomes 1&2" "Outcomes 4&5") noci /// by(_filenumber) /// byopts(legend(pos(0)) title("file#opts... does not work here, but why not?")) /// file1opts(pstyle(p1) color(purple) lpattern(solid) msize(huge)) /// file2opts(pstyle(p2) color(pink) lpattern(dash) msize(small) /// note("(wish this was atop one graph instead of both)", span position(n))) /// savefile(g2, replace) /// name(g2, replace) *combining graph combine g1 g2, xsize(6) ysize(3)
This could be because of how combomarginsplot works, by appending the saved margins file (so that I do not have two "files" for which I can declare options anymore?), but the help file says I can use file#opts, so I am guessing I'm not clear on how this works.
