True! And to make this worthwhile, let the graph editor do its magic...
*************
sysuse auto, clear
set obs `=_N+1'
replace foreign = 0.5 in l
twoway scatter rep78 mpg,/*
*/ by(foreign, cols(3))
gr play edit
*************
with file edit.grec defined as follows, to be saved to the PERSONAL/grec directory:
*************
StataFileTM:00001:01100:GREC: :
00003:00003:00001:
*! classname: bygraph_g
*! family: by
*! date: 11 Aug 2009
*! time: 10:09:57
*! graph_scheme: s2color
*! naturallywhite: 1
*! end
// File created by Graph Editor Recorder.
// Edit only if you know what you are doing.
.plotregion1.subtitle[2].text = {}
// subtitle[2] edits
.plotregion1.xaxis1[2].draw_view.setstyle, style(no)
// xaxis1[2] edits
.plotregion1.plotregion1[2].EditCustomStyle , j(-1) style(boxstyle(shadestyle(color(none))))
.plotregion1.plotregion1[2].EditCustomStyle , j(-1) style(boxstyle(linestyle(color(none))))
// plotregion1[2] color

Betreff: Re: st: graph -by- option
.
One possible workaround may be to add fake-observations to your dataset.
Here is an example:
sysuse auto, clear
set obs `=_N+1'
replace foreign = 0.5 in `=_N'
twoway scatter rep78 mpg, by(foreign, cols(3))
