graph bar wage hours ttl exp tenure, over(collgrad)
While you can use the
bar()
option to
control the look of each bar, selecting a
different scheme allows you to control
the look of all of the bars. For example,
this graph is drawn using the
vg palec
scheme. See
Intro : Schemes
(14) for
some other schemes you could try and
Appendix : Customizing schemes
(379) for
tips on customizing your own schemes.
