replicate coefplot style

[Luis Pecht]

Hi,

I need to replicate coefplot (from SSC) graph style, including the zero line, using this simple dataset, :

clear
input str12 var float(coef lowerBound upperBound)
"kpi1"   .675  .5073 .8439
"kpi2" .444  .1856 .7027
"kpi3"  .122 -.1344 .3788
end

thanks in advance

clear
input str12 var float(coef lowerBound upperBound)
"kpi1"   .675  .5073 .8439
"kpi2" .444  .1856 .7027
"kpi3"  .122 -.1344 .3788
end

mkmat coef lowerBound upperBound, mat(coefs) rownames(var)
mat coefs= coefs'
coefplot mat(coefs),ci((2 3)) xline(0)

Note also

clear
input str12 var float(coef lowerBound upperBound)
"kpi1"   .675  .5073 .8439
"kpi2" .444  .1856 .7027
"kpi3"  .122 -.1344 .3788
end

gen y = _n

scatter y coef || rspike lower upper y, horizontal ysc(reverse) ///
yla(1 "kpi1" 2 "kpi2" 3 "kpi3", tlc(none)) ytitle("") xline(0) legend(off)

A tiny variation on what is common in this code is making the ticks themselves invisible. I don't understand that ticks on a categorical axis are either needed or helpful.
