Good morning all,
I have a problem which I haven't been able to resolve through other methods:
on-line help, FAQs, archives, discussion with colleagues. I hope that
someone will be able to help. I am using Stata 8.2 (born on 30 Oct 2003) on
a networked PC.
I have produced a series of line graphs which include vertical gridlines in
order to highlight some regular occurring factors using the -xtick, grid-
option. (I have copied my syntax below - the grid is mentioned on the 8th
row.)
I find that the gridlines are being drawn on top of the graph lines instead
of behind them. I wish to drawn the graph lines as steps, but if I do this,
I appear to lose much of the graph behind the gridlines. Elsehow, the graph
is produced how I would wish.
I'd be grateful if anyone knows already how to cope with this (if so, I
apologise that I have not been able to find the information elsewhere), or
whether the problem is being fixed for dissemination in the near future.
With kind regards,
Matt
