Binscatter

[Trevor Andrew]

Has anyone used the user-written command binscatter and knows who to control the size of markers? msize is not allowed as an option.

You can save the plot points and the command that generates the plot using the option savedata(). You can then modify the command as needed.

For instance,

sysuse nlsw88, clear
binscatter tenure wage, savedata(bs)

creates the files bs.do and bs.csv. You can then edit the bs.do file as follows:

insheet using bs.csv

twoway (scatter tenure wage, mcolor(navy) lcolor(maroon) msize(huge)) (function 0*x^2+.1698445727245917*x+4.654345060114545, range(2.404710731230491 27.06101347089888) lcolor(maroon)), graphregion(fcolor(white))  xtitle(wage) ytitle(tenure) legend(off order())

binscatter is from SSC. Michael Stepner's email at MIT given in the help may no longer work, but it's easy enough to find him on the web.
