I am doing a panel data study using the synthetic control method with Stata 15’s synth command and potentially synth_runner. Here are my questions:.

How do I find out how much weight is given to each predictor variable by synth?

How do I get the figure command in synth to allow me to specify a range for the y axis?

After running the synth command for all the treatment units and the placebo units created from donor units , I will have a dataset with observations for each treatment unit (Y1) and its synthetic control (Y0) and whether the observation is for a treatment unit (Trmt=1) or a placebo unit (Trmt=0). How do I get xtline or other graph command to make the observed effect (Y1-Y0) of the treatment units to look different from the effect of the placebo units? I want to print treatment unit effects in bold against lighter lines or dashed lines for the placebo units.

How do I get a vertical line at the intervention point (Time=0) using xtline?

Here is some data using dataex:
