This is not the same as having a single -graph- command but everything
done in the Graph Editor is reproducible by command syntax with the
-gr_edit- command.
. sysuse auto
. graph bar rep78 headroom
. gr_edit plotregion1.bars[1].style.editstyle shadestyle(color(gs10)) editcopy
To identify the text that goes after -gr_edit- do the following:
- Start the Graph Editor.
- Start recording.
- Make changes to the graph.
- Stop recording and save the recording in a grec file.
- Open the grec file in a text editor.
