This is peculiar. On my system (OSX 10.5) with Stata 11, the graph
shows distinctly oval plot symbols, but when I resize the graph they
become more regular, without ever becoming proper circles. You can see
clearly what is happening. Resize the graph by dragging the corner of
the window. Stata waits until you release the drag before redrawing
the graph, so you can examine a the original graph - it's clearly
distorted. (You can also enable zooming using control-scroll-up and
control-scroll-down, which is useful for teaching).
never renders well on my system, and copying the graph preserves the
oblong symbols
Have you tried resizing and copying? The results are better, but still
not right.
. scatter weight length, ms(Oh) // large O
doesn't show the complaint
I sent you off list the horrible rendering of a graph twoway
function (y=x). Looked like someone shocked it with electricity.
It's awful, but the examples you give above show the essentials of the
problem. I'd say it's over to tech support at Stata to figure out what
is going wrong.
