twoway scatter with vertical lines connecting min and max

[Johanna Krenz]

Hi,

I'm doing a twoway scatterplot, let's say:
graph twoway scatter GDP assets

Now, GDP is a coefficient from a previous regression. I also saved the values limiting the 90% confidence intervall, i.e. GDPup90 and GDPlow90

Now, I want to plot
graph twoway scatter GDP GDPup90 GDPlow90 assets

and I want the dots for GDPup90 GDPlow90 to be connected with GDP in between.

How can I achieve this?

Thanks in advance!

Combining rcap and scatter may work:

clear
input gdp assets
1 1
2 2
3 2.5
4 4
5 3.2
end

gen width = runiform()*3
gen lc = gdp - width
gen uc = gdp + width

twoway (rcap lc uc assets)(scatter gdp assets)

Adding two more scatter layers can also conceal the end of the whiskers, if that's what you are aiming for.

twoway (rcap lc uc assets)(scatter gdp assets)(scatter lc assets)(scatter uc assets)

Perfect! Thanks a lot!
