How to Connect the Markers on a Graph Using Eventdd?

I'm working in a paper using event study methodology. For my graph I want to connect the markers and see the lines of the ci as the following example:

Example of event study graph I want to generate

To check how can I do it, I'm using the Stevenson and Wolfers (2006) divorce example:

`webuse set *(prefix now "")

webuse bacon_example.dta, clear

gen timeToTreat = year - _nfd

  • Set scheme colors:
    grstyle init grstyle set lpattern dot solid /*patron de las dos lineas */ grstyle set linewidth medthick thick /*Grosor de las dos lineas */ grstyle set plain , horizontal compact minor dotted grstyle set color "56 108 176" "56 108 176"
    grstyle set symbol

#delimit delimiter now qui eventdd asmrs pcinc asmrh cases i.year i.stfips, timevar(timeToTreat) ci(rline) cluster(stfips) graph_op(ytitle("Suicides per 1m Women") xlabel(-20(5)25) recast(line))`

The eventdd command produce the following graph:

Adding recast(line) to eventdd command

The graph don't show the ci complete and don't connect the markers.

If I use the connect(direct) option produce the following graph:

Show the ci lines no connect markers

Now the graph shows the ci lines but don't connect the markers.

I read the manual of eventdd command and the syntaxis permit the ci and recast options. However, I don't know if the config of Stata change or I'm using a wrong option, but I can't produce the graph as the first.

I expect produce a graph as the example using the eventdd command.

Can you help me to fix it? Thanks.
