How to clear all graphs saved in macro

[Sonnen Blume]

Hi, I am 'foreach' loop command to save and combine 9 different catplot (ssc) graphs (local graphnames `graphnames' `x'). If I have to remake the graph, I use

graph drop _all

, but still end up having 18 graphs in one instead of 9, and have to exit Stata and rerun everything from the beginning. Is there any way to do this without exiting the application?

Also, the titles are getting overlapped as there are not enough spaces for them. I tried the splitlabel(ssc) functions but it doesn't seem to work. Does catplot have any function to split the labels?

Please let me know.

Thank you.

Your

graph drop all

is dropping all of your graphs. However, it is not resetting the list of graphs to combine that you create in the local macro graphnames, so the second run of your loop adds the same 9 names a second time, and thus the combined graph includes each of the 9 newly-created graphs twice.

You need to run

local graphnames

to empty the local macro of the 9 names already in the list, before rerunning your loop.
