st: colors in boxplots

[Donald Spady <dspady@ualberta.ca>]

Dear Statalisters

I want to create a graph consisting of 5 sets of boxplots, with each set 
containing 3 boxplots.  I can do this but I want to differentiate each of 
the 3 boxplots within a set.  I want to have different colors (preferably 
hatching and stuff but that is not possible at present I guess) so that 
they will stand out as separate in a black and white image.  My commands 
are below, but when I put in the commands for the boxplot color etc, it 
only uses the first one, in this case box(1, bfcolor(ltbluishgray).  All 
the boxes are this color.  Is there any way to have different colors.

Many thanks in advance.

graph box eia, medtype(line) over(vacgroup, axis(off)) over(time) box(1, 
bfcolor(ltbluishgray) blcolor(black)) box(2, bfcolor(ltbluishgray) 
blcolor(black)) box(3, bfcolor(white) blcolor(black)) ytitle(EIA, 
size(medium)) title(Time, position(6))
