twoway scatter ownhome borninstate,
msymbol(sh)
We can append an
h
(i.e.,
msymbol(sh)
) to yield hollow squares.
In addition to choosing
S
for larger
squares and
s
for small squares, we can
specify
D
(large diamond),
T
(large
triangle), and
O
(large circles). We can
specify lowercase letters to get smaller
versions of these symbols and append
the
h
for hollow versions.
