Fred,
The problem seems to be when the -noscatter- option is used.
In the locpoly.ado file if you add the -ytitle(`') xtitle(`') and `options'-
to the -graph twoway line- command (and save it as locpoly2) it will honor
the graphing options when the -noscatter- option is invoked.
Below are lines 156 - 162 in -locpoly- :
graph twoway ///
`scat' ///
(line `yhat' `xgrid', ///
sort ///
pstyle(p1) ///
`rlopts' ///
)
If you add the options after `rlopts' so that it becomes:
graph twoway ///
`scat' ///
(line `yhat' `xgrid', ///
sort ///
pstyle(p1) ///
`rlopts' ytitle(`"`yttl'"') xtitle(`"`xttl'"') `options'
///
)
now the command will honor the graphing options when -noscatter- is used.
Incidentally, now the command will also respects line width, pattern, and
color with or without scatter.
Hope this helps,
Scott
