I am graphing 3 way interaction based on plotting points derived from calculating the adjusted mean value of peer support (y) for Black and White males and females at 2 different values of SES (4 & 8). For some reason I am running into issues drawing lines that aren't connected to each other. Does anyone know how to use the connect option to connect the points to draw 4 separate lines? When I use [connect(l)] at the end of the command the 4 separate lines are connected. Using connected after "twoway" results in error. I have looked at all of the manuals for scatteri and scatter and haven't found an example that fits. I also thought that I may have to divide the lines by [ || ] like you would if you want to have a scatter plot with multiple regression lines, but that didn't work either. I have included the syntax I am using below. Thanks so much,
