Subject: st: changing scheme for avplots
To: [email protected]
Cc: "van Belle, gerald" <[email protected]>
I am unable to change the scheme for the graph produced by
avplots. I
need to have a white background, not shaded blue.
example:
webuse auto, clear
reg price mpg weight
avplots, scheme(s1mono)
You need to use the commonscheme option:
avplots, scheme(s1mono) commonscheme
Also, is there anyway to format the coefficients and se so that
fewer
decimal points are presented? (I know how to format numbers, but
how do I
tell Stata where to do that?)
One way would be to draw each -avplot- and rewrite the note():
avplot mpg, name(gr1, replace) note("coef= 49.51, se = 86.16")
avplot weight, name(gr2, replace) note("coef= 1.75, se = .64")
graph combine gr1 gr2, scheme(s1mono) commonscheme
Or you could alter -avplot- so that the coef and se are rounded (you
may want to make a back up copy of -avplot-).
You could change lines 114 and 115 from
local coef=return(coef)
local se=return(se)
to
local coef=round(return(coef), .01)
local se=round(return(se), .01)
so that that displayed estimates are rounded.
