The help file for -sts graph- shows that the graph will take -cline_
options-. In particular, the option you're looking for is the
-clpattern- option. For example, please try the following:
. sysuse cancer
. sts graph, by(dose) clpattern(dash solid dot)
Since you only have two lines in your graph, your option should
include -clpattern(solid dash)-.
A complete list of cline_options can be found in [G] -connect_
options-.
