graph dot prev exp tenure, over(occ7)
marker(1, msymbol(d) mfcolor(teal) mlcolor(dkgreen) mlwidth(thick))
marker(2, msymbol(S) mfcolor(ltblue) mlcolor(blue) mlwidth(thick))
In this example, we use two
marker()
options, so we can control both
markers. The first marker is now a
diamond with a teal fill and a thick,
dark green outline. The second marker
is a square, light blue on the inside with
a thick blue outline. The section
Options : Markers
(235) has more details
on controlling markers.

We can use the
linegap()
option to
display the
-variables on different lines
and specify the gap between these lines.
The default value is 0, meaning that all
