Re: st: RE: Stata 13 linepatternstyle

[Lucas <lucaselastic@gmail.com>]

Here's one version of my code which does not work:

. graph twoway function y=normal(.3372456+(.837738*x)),
  xscale(range(0 .9)) xlabel(0(.1).9)  ylabel(0(.1)1)
  legend(label(1 "Bivariate") label(2 "Direct Effects"))
  linepatternstyle(solid dot)
  ||
  function y=normal(.3263623+.0249095+(.9102603*x)),
  xscale(range(0 .9))  xlabel(0(.1).9) ylabel(0(.1)1)
  legend(label(1 "Bivariate") label(2 "Direct Effects"))
  linepatternstyle(solid dot) ;
option linepatternstyle() not allowed

and here's another that does not work:

. graph twoway function y=normal(.3372456+(.837738*x)),
>  xscale(range(0 .9))
>  xlabel(0(.1).9)
>  ylabel(0(.1)1)
>  legend(label(1 "Bivariate") label(2 "Direct Effects"))
>  linepatternstyle("-" ".")
>  ||
>  function y=normal(.3263623+.0249095+(.9102603*x)),
>  xscale(range(0 .9))
>  xlabel(0(.1).9)
>  ylabel(0(.1)1)
>  legend(label(1 "Bivariate") label(2 "Direct Effects"))
>  linepatternstyle("-" ".") ;
option linepatternstyle() not allowed

Thanks for any assistance.

> Anyone know what's up with linepatternstyle in stata13?  In graphing a few functions in the same graph, no matter what I do all lines are solid (though the shading may differ).  I tried setting mono but that no longer works (horrors for all those graphs I coded several years ago, if I have to re-make some sometime).  I used s1mono and s2mono and at worst all lines are the same (solid, same shade), and at best they differ only in shade. But I need differences in pattern (e.g., solid, dotted, and so forth).
