plotting several graphs once

[Paris Rira]

Dear profs and colleagues,

there are 3 variables:
immi: the share of immigrant
region: regions
year: 2010- 2019

I need to plot graphs that show immi (the share of immigrants) across regions during the period 2010-2019. I mean for each year separately. It will be 10 graphs but all in one code.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Cheers,
Paris

Plotting the profile of immigration over time for each region is more intuitive to read. The code below is a minimal starting point.

sc immi year , by(region) c(l) sort(region year)

I agree strongly with Leonardo Guizzetti and would go further. If you are showing each region, you have space to show the others as context. And the default alphabetical order by region name helps no-one, or so I suspect. I used fabplot and myaxis from the Stata Journal.

replace region = trim(region) 
myaxis REGION=region, sort(mean immi) descending
fabplot line immi year, by(REGION) front(connected) xla(2010 "2010" 2012(2)2020, format(%tyYY))

I am away from my uisual computer and am not using Stata 18. Log scale also seems like a strong runner.

Thank you so much Nick and Leonardo.

Is it possible to change the colors of the front lines for a given subgroup? Let's say "Norte" is a treated region and I want to make the front line green or red in the graph. I am unable to do it with fabplot.
