Thanks, that is indeed one possible answer to my question, but
that won't work in an .ado file. To be fair, I did not state in
my question that that was my aim.
To be more concrete: Consider Figures 6.9 and 6.10 of
http://www.maartenbuis.nl/dissertation/chap_6.pdf . These are
created using a program I wrote -seqlogitdecomp-, which is
part of the -seqlogit- package which can be downloaded from
SSC. Now the rows are labeled using different colors/grays in
combination with a legend. The aim is to update this package
so that the rows are labeled on the right rather than in a
legend.
