yline() and shadow for IC

[Jose Ignacio Torrealba]

Hello!

Im posting this because i need help with 2 things:

1. I need to add a red yline() That takes the value of 0 from, -12 to 0 (x axsis). And then From 1 to 12, takes another value, for example lets say -0.04
2. Wondering if i can add shadow for the IC. Instead of the classic IC (as is now in the graph).

Im using STATA /SE 18.0

Here de DATA: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oGz...ew?usp=sharing

And here is the code:

Thanks!

I don't know what IC means here, or indeed anywhere, as I imagine it doesn't mean infiltration capacity.

Added lines always extend from one side to another in the plot region.

If you want something else, use twoway function (for horizontal lines) or twoway scatteri with option recast(line) (generally). There are other ways to do it, but those are top of my list.

[Andrew Musau]

Present a data example using the dataex command, as recommended in FAQ Advice #12. Some questions to address if you reconsider reposting:

1. What is IC? Do you mean CI for confidence interval?
2. I do not follow what you mean by "shadow" (maybe others do). Perhaps an area plot?

[Jose Ignacio Torrealba]

Yes sorry, IC is CI in Spanish. Confidence Interval. Andrew Musau Nick Cox

[Jose Ignacio Torrealba]

And Shadow. Like shaded area confidence intervals (imagine similar to area plot) Andrew Musau

[Andrew Musau]

That is clear now. What remains is the data request.

[Jose Ignacio Torrealba]

Andrew Musau or Nick Cox This is an example of what i would like to graph. If you know any code that could work, i would really appreciate it!

Andrew Musau Thank you very much! And do you know how can I add an yline() but that starts from 0 (as the one in the photo, that is -0.017, in that case, starts in -1)
