You can also get the opposite behaviour...
*************
sysuse auto, clear
collapse price, by(rep78)
twoway (bar price rep78 if rep78 < 3, barwidth(0.8)) ///
  (bar price rep78 if rep78 >= 3, lpattern(dash) lcolor(black) ///
  fcolor(white) lwidth(medthick) barwidth(0.8)), ///
  name(first, replace) nodraw
sysuse auto, clear
separate price, by(rep78>=3)
graph bar (mean) price0 (mean) price1, over(rep78)/* 
 */  nofill bar(2, fcolor(none) lcolor(black)/* 
 */  lwidth(medthick) lpattern(dash)) legend(on)  /* 
 */  name(second, replace) nodraw
 
 gr combine first second

Betreff: st: lpattern() option doesn't work in -twoway bar-?
Dear all,
yesterday I stumbled across the following on an up-to-date Stata 10.1:
***
sysuse auto, clear
collapse price, by(rep78)
twoway (bar price rep78 if rep78 < 3, barwidth(0.8)) ///
  (bar price rep78 if rep78 >= 3, lpattern(dash) lcolor(black) ///
  fcolor(white) lwidth(medthick) barwidth(0.8))
***
On my machine, only the legend for the white bars has a dashed
outline, not the actual bars on the graph itself. It's the same for
any other pattern.
On the other hand,
graph bar (asis) price, over(rep78) bargap(0.2) bar(1, fcolor(white) ///
  lcolor(black) lwidth(medthick) lpattern(dash))
produces bars with a dashed outline.
Have I missed something very basic here?
Thanks,
Eva
