Making many thin grey lines can be done in one -twoway line- graph if
you use the -connect(L)- option. This way you can bypass any problems
with the maximum length of a command, and save you a lot of typing
(and thus possibilities of typos). See the example below:
*------------- begin example -------------
use http://www.stata-press.com/data/r9/pig.dta, clear
bys week: egen m = mean(weight)
sort id week
twoway line weight week, connect(L) color(gs10) || /*
*/ line m week, connect(L) lpattern(solid)
*-------------- end example --------------
(For more on how to use examples I sent to the Statalist, see
http://home.fsw.vu.nl/m.buis/stata/exampleFAQ.html )
Hope this helps,
Maarten
