Graph Slide Show

        grss {graphcmd}

        grss

        grss clear}

    where graphcmd is any Stata graph command.

Description

    grss allows you to create a graph slide show which you can view later
    during your Stata session, also using the grss command.

Usage 1: Adding Graphs to the Graph Slide Show

    . grss <graph command>

Usage 2: Showing the Graph Slide Show

    . grss

Usage 3: Clearing the Graph Slide Show

    . grss clear

Using Graph Slide Show

    Graph Slide Show is a wrapper program that allows you to create graphs
    either at the command line or in a .do file and then view the graphs
    afterward using a pushbutton carousel graph viewer.

    You add graphs to the carousel by typing grss followed by any Stata
    command that creates a graph (e.g. graph, scatter, histogram).  For
    example, below we will read in the "hsb2" data file and add three graphs
    to the carousel.

. use https://stats.idre.ucla.edu/stat/stata/notes/hsb2
. grss scatter read write
. grss scatter read math
. grss scatter read science

    We can then view them like this.

. grss

    and we are shown the first graph (scatter read write) and are shown a
    next and previous button to rotate among the graphs.

    If you wish to clear out the carousel, you can type

. grss clear

    This is useful if you use grss in a .do file, then you may wish to start
    your .do file with the grss clear command.

Details

    By default, the graphs are stored as temporary graphs via the graph
    rename command.  The graphs are named grss_graph1 grss_graph2 and so on.
