Re: st: sts graph: setting color of graph region

[Michael McCulloch <mm@pinestreetfoundation.org>]

Thanks to Scott and Friedrich.

Scott suggested the following successful change:
	-sts graph, graphregion(color(none))-
	to
	-sts graph, graphregion(color(white))-

Friedrich pointed me to an archive post (http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2004-03/msg00846.html 
):
which suggested using the undocumented -bgcolor()- option, which  
removed the remaining border color:
	-scatter mpg weight, graphregion(color(white)) bgcolor(white)-
