naming graphs after mcmcsum

First, let me thank the development team at Bristol for putting together this utility. It is fabulous.
A minor suggestion ... when generating graphs using mcmcsum (eg. mcmcsum, trajectories), it would be helpful to be able to "name" the graphs with Stata's standard graph naming option. That allows the user to store multiple plots in the plots window.
Thanks
Ian Dohoo

Dear Ian

Thank you very much for your interest in runmlwin. My colleague Bill Browne (http://seis.bris.ac.uk/~frwjb/) is currently leading a reading group on your book at the Bristol vet school and says positive things

Great suggestion on allowing the mcmcsum graphs to be named. We will allow this in the next version. Meanwhile, you can implement this yourselve by editing the syntax line in mcmcsum.ado. It will be the third or fourth line in your file

Just add * before the final ]

So change

Code: Select all

syntax [anything(name=paropts id="parameter list" everything)] [, Getchains Variables Thinning(int 1) Eform SQrt MOde MEdian Zratio Level(cilevel) Width(integer 13) Detail TRAJectories DENSities FIVEway FOrmat FOrmat2(str)]
