A very useful feature of Stata is the dialog boxes, especially with commands that have several alternative options or subcommands, such as the graphics commands.

in the Stata command interface and the dialog window will come up. This is a really nice way to save some time while figuring out Stata’s syntax, although it sometimes fosters “irresponsibility”, since it is really easy to end up doing something for which you do not understand the statistical basis.
