Thank you very much, David

I just want to say it would be nice to document the syntax of gr_edit in a newer version of Stata. Perhaps a manual update would be enough. Knowing these techniques would save you a lot of time when you are dealing with complicated models and graphs are expensive to create from scratch.

All the best

You can use -gr_edit- to delete and then add a title, like this:

twoway function y=x^3, title("Old title")
gr_edit .title.text = {}
gr_edit .title.text.Arrpush New title

This solution presumes you either have the graphs in memory or saved as .gph files.
