Maps in Stata II

This guide is all about making maps in Stata. It provides a set of templates using actual data to help you guide through the process. In this guide we will learn how to produce these maps and more:

This guide is a follow up to the first map guide, where maps are introduced but their full potential is not fully explored. If you are new to maps, the first guide is highly recommended for a slow introduction! If you are looking for more advanced stuff, have a look at the Reprogramming maps guide and OSM, QGIS, and Stata integration guide.

This guide is planned to be updated intermittently with various other map types.
