Hi all, the following #Stata#dataviz packages are now updated on SSC:
#alluvial v1.4
#arcplot v1.4
#bimap v2.1
#circlebar v1.6
#graphfunctions v1.4
#sankey v1.81
#spider v1.5
#sunburst v1.8
#treemap v1.6
#waffle v1.23
Overall changes:
๐ Most packages got better label wrapping via the new #graphfunctions package.
๐ Most package got support for weights (other will get it as well over time time).
๐ Some had internal functions ported over to a common graph generation framework (more on this earlier next year).
๐ Suggested citations added to each package. Please cite them and others you use!
Updates were based on project demands, and requests from clients and power users. Bugs from any source were given high priority.
Showcase:
Quite a lot of feature requests were added, of which four are showcased below:
๐ก allivual weights word wrapping
๐ก circlebar sorting weights reference lines near labels
๐ก spider weights web grids reference lines
๐ก sunburst weights extensions for donut plots
Detailed can be found in each package's repository. Links can be found here: github.com/asjadnaqvi
Please โญ๏ธ the ones you like and please use #GitHub for reporting issues and feature requests.
The #Stata#arcplot package is now bumped to v1.4 with the following updates:
- Fixed major bugs that were resulting in wrong outputs under certain conditions.
- Weights are now supported.
- Better control over labels through new options.
- Better defaults should improve the overall figures.
The arcplot package is not given much attention (including by myself), but it is great for showing the level of total activity for nodes in networks. It is also a good alternative for heatplots, sankeys, and network graphs.

Up soon on SSC!
That is amazing. Thank you Asjad! I will give it ago to the arcplot. I had noticed your sankey package but the other might work better. github.com/asjadnaqvi/stata-โฆ
#Stata#arcplot package has been bumped to v1.3 after more than a year of no updates. This package hasn't been given much attention but I am now using it more and more. It is useful for showing volume of flows at the node level in a network.
The major changes are as follows:
1) Bars now have two tones (modifiable) to distinguish between outflows in inflows
2) Display is now by default numerically sorted which makes it visually easy to identify large flows. Can also be sorted by name.
3) Lots of new options added to micro finetune the graph.
4) Improvements to defaults.
5) Various code optimizations to draw faster.
There are a few more updates planned to make it look less messy with very large number of bilateral flows/dyads.

Up soon on SSC.
For all you old time command line #ArcINFO users out there, does this airport carpet remind you of digitizing a bunch of quad sheets and then drawing them in ArcPLOT only to realize you messed up some coordinates?

The following #Stata packages are up on SSC:
bimap v1.6, sunburst v1.2, circlebar v1.1, treemap v1.41, arcplot v1.2, sankey v1.3, alluvial v1.1

Two I personally use all the time are white_tableau (clean white) and neon (black background).

#arcplot v1.2 is 1000x faster. This is due to fewer loops, fewer reshapes, and flattened drawing. More options added. Test it out with your network data!

Version 1.1 of @Stata package #arcplot is now out:
github.com/asjadnaqvi/stata-โฆ
- A lot of bug fixes
- Better label controls
- Added gtools for faster reshaping.
It needs network data in the form: source, destination, value and that is it! Examples ๐๐
While searching the internet I found a map I helped make. The one Jack is pointing to is from The Greek Navy benchmark. We made a smart automatic generalization of bathymetric lines using TIN. #ESRI#Cartographygisandscience.com/history/jaโฆ
ArcView, ArcEdit, ArcInfo, ArcPlot, ArcGRID, ArcIMS, Arc Macro Language, ArcGIS Desktop, ArcPad, ArcGIS Server, .AXL, some of us GIS veterans have lost so many...
Cant agree more. None of this impacts the transition to EVs in any material way, maybe timing of full adoption by a bit. Gigs factories are still coming up, Teslaโs will still be in demand. Great opportunity to shop during this sale event
