Beyond the texts, another good way to learn the graphing commands is through
the GUI dialogue boxes. For example, if you did a simple line plot you
would see pull-down menus for line colors and line patterns which would lead
you to the -clcolor()- and -clpat()- options.
The legend can be a little tricky, if you don't know what to look for. In
[G] legend_option the -order()- sub option can be used to override the
default legend keys. So, one way would be:
twoway function y = 0.35299 + 0.692*x, range(0 .461) || ///
function y = 0.96888 - 0.644*x, range(.461 1) || ///
function y = 0.316 + 1.248*x - 1.301*x^2 , range(0 1) ///
|| scatter q erc, legend(order(1 "Regime" 3 "Quadratic"))
Hope this helps,
Scott
