I'm looking for a way to use the color of the marker as an added
dimension in a scatter plot. I realize I can create N plots, all with
different colors, but I was hoping someone knew of a command to
essentially weight (continuously) by color. I've tried to use the RGB
mcolor(# # #) option, and tie the color to the range of my results:
gen c1 = 255 - (totl-1)*21
gen c2 = (totl-1)*21
graph twoway scatter Y X, mcolor("c1 0 c2")
I cannot, however, get stata to read "c1" as a variable as opposed to
a class color. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
