Venn Diagram in Stata

I am trying to replicate the Stata code below from this package here but it gives an invalid syntax error. I am using Stata 12 on Windows 7. Any ideas on how to solve this

clear
program drop _all
mata mata clear

sysuse auto
generate heavy=weight>3000
generate expensive=price>4000

label variable foreign "foreign"

VennDiagram foreign heavy expensive, title("Car market structure")
Solution

  • OK, first off, based on the comments above, I discovered that despite the instruction to

    findit twoway_parea

    the required command is 

    findit twoway parea

    so ultimately I was able to successfully install the two pieces I needed for VennDiagram.

    There are three syntax errors in venndiagram.ado. At line 96 we see

    # delimit ;

    At lines 100, 148, and 245 we see

              version 9.2

    Each of those needs a semicolon following it. 

              version 9.2;

    With those three changes, the example runs without producing a syntax error.
