-pairplot- is a user-written package on SSC.
Thanks to David for his comments and to Scott
for his suggestions.
I am using -pairplot- 1.0.8, which is also
the version on SSC. This was written for Stata 8.
Scott is correct that -blp()- is needed for
one problem.
For the other problem, an alternative solution
is
pairplot crude adjusted, sort( hospital) sortlabel(hosp)
horizontal ///
blpattern(dash) ///
ms(o) y2(ms(T)) mc(orange navy)
making use of the undocumented -y2options()- option.
At this moment, I can't re-create the reason for this
being undocumented, but I'd guess at some combination of
indolence and embarrassment.
