  Easily create, customize, and export publication-ready tables with a single line of code. More Stata outputs now integrate seamlessly into these tables.
• New Graphics Features
  Add heat maps, bar plots with confidence intervals, and more. Improved labeling, group control, and variable-based customization offer finer graphical control.
