Re: st: Persistent graph legends using by()

[Nick Winter <nw53@cornell.edu>]

In this case, the "legend(off)" should be a suboption of by():

  . twoway ... , by(UNIT , legend(off) ) ...

See the section titled "Use of legends with by()" in -help by_option- (or 
the equivalent manual entry, I assume; I don't have them at hand).
