Abstract

Wanting to present Stata output in a different way is a very common desire that lies behind many substantial user-written programs. Here I start at the beginning with some basic tips and tricks. I discuss using display to replay the results you want; putting results into new variables so that they can be listed, tabulated, or plotted; and using existing reduction commands to produce new datasets containing results.
