ITSA legend

[May Blake]

I would like to changed the legend of my post trend ITSA graph to be on the bottom rather than on the side of the graph


The code I am using is below. When I run it with legend customizations, I get an error "Legend() not allowed", Can you help me?

[Rich Goldstein]

from the help file, it appears that your code is not correct; I believe that you need to put any twoway graph options (such as legend), in parentheses that immediately follow the "figure" option

also, your use of "trperiod" is incorrect

the following works for me on your data:

itsa calories, trperiod(16mar2002) lag(1) figure(legend(position(1))) posttrend

Rich, this worked perfectly, Thank you!
