XLINE STATA COLOR UPDATE

I am not sure whether an update would already solve this problem. I am working with Stata 16 and a quite old revision date () because our IT department is just now in the process of updating to a more recent revision date from Decemer 2021 (which has to be done manually because I am working from a closed network). I also tried adding a pci-graph instead of the xline-option, but found no way to extend the vertical line without messing up my y-scale-range. When bstyle(none) is not specified the color of the bar-outline is not affected by xline, but as I said, the color of the bar itself is wrong. But adding bstyle(none) also has the unwanted effect that the lcolor that I specified for additional xlines, is also applied to the bars overriding the previous lcolor-command specified in the barlook-options. I have to use a very specific color scheme due to corporate identity rules and therefore I have to add the option bstyle(none) because otherwise graph twoway bar automatically reduces the opacity of the color. It gives you a histogram of price under two different categories: Foreign and Domestic.I am encountering a problem with graph twoway bar when using the barlook-option bstyle(none) and an added xline-option. Similarly, we can use the mcolor() option in a twoway histogram: twoway (histogram price if foreign, width(500) start(2000) color(red%50) disc freq) (histogram price if !foreign, width(500) start(2000) color(blue%50) disc freq), legend(order(1 'Foreign' 2 'Domestic')) This will give you a graph with 20% opacity in red: If you want the marker colors to be red and with 20% opacity, you will need to specify mcolor(red%20): histogram price, color(red%20) frequency NOTE: Normally we use the marker color option mcolor(), we use color() option here because that is where colors are specified for histograms. If you want to change the color, you will need to specify the color you want, if you omit the color specification, Stata will adjust only the opacity of the object. In the above command, color(%20) means that markers are to be the default color with 20% opacity. For example: histogram price, color(%20) frequency Then right click, select Plot region properties, then a window will pop up, you can change your graph’s color and opacity manually:Īlternatively, we can type directly in the command pane. To adjust the transparency, in the Graph window, click the Graph Editor button to Start Graph Editor: 100% means that the color fully hides the background, and 0% means that the color has no coverage ans is fully transparent. opacity is the percentage of a color that covers the background color. Stata will produce a basic histogram, with default color and 100% opacity. In the command pane (you can also use the menu to achieve the same result: Graphics > Histogram), I type: histogram price, frequency To demonstrate, I use the automobile dataset.įirst, let’s start from the simple histogram. As a new feature in Stata 15, it allows you to specify the percentage opacity. However, sometimes you might want to see what lies underneath, and that usually produces better-looking graphs. By default, the elements in Stata graph is not transparent, or 100% opaque.
