You need to add the asyvars option.
For example
. sysuse auto
(1978 Automobile Data)
. graph box mpg, medtype(line) over(rep) asyvars
will produce 5 boxes, each with a different color.
Hope this helps,
Scott

Subject: st: colors in boxplots
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))
