Two Stata-related problems/issues I've been working on involve building weaved, literate documents via -markstat- (from SSC) and post-processing Stata graphs via gr_edit commands. gr_edit commands are not documented but are helpful for adding elements across many graphs that you'd otherwise have to add manually (or by creating a graph recording). The biggest downside to gr_edit commands (or applying graph recordings) is that it's a slow process when you have many hundreds/thousands of graphs to edit. In the code example below, I made you a holiday tree with 100k lights. I know, this is very thoughtful of me. You are welcome. Update (Dec 25): First here's a new version of a holiday tree using -tw scatter-/-tw bar-. I like this version much better than the approach I had originally included when I first put up this post. These previous attempts using -scatteri- and gr_edit are still included below : **************! clear set obs 2000 g z = 10 g obs =
