Jack,
I don't believe there is any option to directly change the color of the
median line for only one group, however if you -separate- your y-variable
the -box(2,...)- option will work.
For example:
sysuse auto,clear
graph box mpg, medtype(line) over(foreign) over(rep78) ///
box(1, fcolor(white) lcolor(black)) name(gr1, replace)
separate mpg, by(fore)
graph box mpg0 mpg1, medtype(line) over(foreign) over(rep78) ///
box(1, fcolor(white) lcolor(black)) box(2, fcolor(black) ///
lcolor(gs12)) legend(off) name(gr2, replace)
This does change the color of the outline of the box and the whiskers as
well, hence the light gray color (gs12) rather than white.
Hope this helps,
Scott

Subject: st: changing appearance of boxplots
I have created a boxplot with two groups (boxes) for each category.� I want
to change the appearance of the median line for the white boxes to black so
that they are easier to see.� How do I change the color of the median line
for only one of the two groups.� I have included the command I tried below.�
This produces a faint greyish white median line within the boxplot.�
Couldn't find the answer in the graphics manual.
graph box avgo2,� over(cs1) over(cage) asyvars medtype(cline) box(2,
bcolor(black)) box(1, bfcolor(white) blcolor(black))boxgap(10)
ytitle("SpO2") b2title("Minutes")legend(cols(1) position(5) ring(0) lab(1
"Vaginal delivery") lab(2 "Cesarean delivery"))
Regards,
Jack
