have you tried using the -xsize()- and -ysize()- options to set the size
of the graph before you export it?

Subject: st: Graph png format - differences in scaling between vers. 10
and 11
Dear Listers,
I just stumbled across an unexpected behaviour. I updated some graphs
for
a Beamer-Latex presentation. I used the "png" format. But I used Stata
11
instead of Stata 10. The result was a file smaller than the previous
version (by a factor of four) with a smaller resolution. I guess, png is
not a vector format and not indifferent to scaling. So, there is a
smaller
picture with less pixels which looks less nice when its size is
increased.
Even if I use Stata version-control, there is no difference. These new
graphs look bad in the presentation, so I recreated them using Stata 10.
There are many workarounds and this is not a big problem - but is this
wanted, that the output changes even when I use version control? And
the
previous default looked better to me. Or did I overlook something?
The code I used was the following:
************************
twoway (scatte v1 v2 t, connect(l l) mlabel(v1 v2) mlabp(12 12)
msymbol(D
O)) (scatte v5 v6 t, ///
mlabel(v5 v6) mlabp(6 3) msymbol(S T) yaxis(2)), legend(size(small)
label(1 "S1") label(2 "S2") label(3 "S3") label(4 "S4")) ///
xlabel(1 "1937-1941" 2 "1942-1946" 3 "1947-1951" 4 "1952-1956" 5
"1957-1961" 6 "1962-1966" 7 "1967-1971", labsize(small)) ///
ylabel(, labsize(small) axis(1 2)) scheme(sj) ///
xtitle(Kohorten, size(small) margin(medium)) plotregion(margin(large))
///
ytitle("XX", size(small) margin(small) axis(1)) ///
ytitle("YY", size(small) margin(small) axis(2))
graph export "test.png", replace
************************
Thanks,
Johannes
