Is there a good way to insert error bars (SE or SD) into Stata bar graphs?
Thanks!
See these websites. It's a little complicated:

Raj found the two most useful websites for a step-by-step on how to create bar graphs with error bars. I will be giving a mini-lecture on this topic tomorrow followed by a brief demo. I will provide you all with a list of helpful commands as well.
Ok, thanks.
In the meantime, I had already e-mailed Stata directly to address the issue. It's rather surprising that we have to go through these hoops for something that is much simpler in Excel or SPSS. Attached is a PDF of my e-mail to them, and their response. They give some code.

Hi,
Here is a step-by-step list of the commands I used to create the bar graph with error bars.
