figure: option / not allowed

[Eddie Pengma]

Dear All,

I run the following program but stata fails to draw the figure. Could you help me to identify the problem?

sysuse nlsw88.dta, clear
set more off
twoway(kdensity wage if collgrad==0) ///
(kdensity wage if collgrad==1),///
xtitle("hourly wage") ///
legend(label(1 "otherwise") ///
label(2 "college graduate")///
col(1) ring(0) pos(3))

stata shows that:
. twoway(kdensity wage if collgrad==0) ///
> (kdensity wage if collgrad==1),///
option / not allowed
r(198);

end of do-file

r(198);

Best,

Eddie

Inlcude a space before the line continuation markers

sysuse nlsw88.dta, clear
set more off
twoway(kdensity wage if collgrad==0) ///
(kdensity wage if collgrad==1), ///
xtitle("hourly wage") ///
legend(label(1 "otherwise") ///
label(2 "college graduate") ///
col(1) ring(0) pos(3))

Dear Jorrit,

stata still shows that



. sysuse nlsw88.dta, clear
(NLSW, 1988 extract)

. set more off

. twoway(kdensity wage if collgrad==0) ///
> (kdensity wage if collgrad==1), ///
> xtitle("hourly wage") ///
> legend(label(1 "otherwise") ///
> label(2"college graduate") ///
> col(1) ring(0) pos(3))
2college not found
r(111);

end of do-file

r(111);

Best,

Eddie

Dear Eddie,

A space is required in between the 2 and the " in: label(2"

sysuse nlsw88.dta, clear
set more off
twoway(kdensity wage if collgrad==0) ///
(kdensity wage if collgrad==1), ///
xtitle("hourly wage") ///
legend(label(1 "otherwise") ///
label(2 "college graduate") ///
col(1) ring(0) pos(3))

as to produce:
