Stata module to add twoway plot objects to an existing twoway graph
addplot adds twoway plot objects to an existing twoway graph.
This is useful if you want to add objects such as titles or extra data points
to a twoway graph after it has been created. Most of what addplot can do can
also be done by rerunning the original graph command including additional
options or plot statements. addplot, however, might be useful if you have to
modify a graph for which you cannot rerun the original command, for example,
because you only have the graph file but not the data that were used to create
the graph. Furthermore, addplot can do certain things that would be difficult
to achieve in a single graph command (e.g. customizing individual subgraphs
within a by-graph). addplot also provides a substitute for some of the
functionality of the graph editor.
