Customizing Stata graphs made easy (part 2)
Abstract. In Jann (2018b, Stata Journal 18: 491–502), I presented a command
called grstyle that simplifies changing the default look of Stata
graphs. The command, however, still relies on idiosyncratic scheme file syntax,
which may not be well known to many users. In this article, I therefore present
an extension called grstyle set that automates the creation of sets of
scheme file entries for a number of potentially useful adjustments, without
much typing and without requiring much knowledge about scheme file syntax.
Covered topics include, for example, the rendering of the background and
coordinate system, the placement and look of the legend, the assignment of
colors, symbols, and line patterns, and the assignment of relative or absolute
sizes.
