twoway scatter ownhome borninstate,
mstyle(p1)
Here, we explicitly select the default
marker style using the
mstyle(p1)
(marker style) option, and the markers
look identical to the previous graph.

twoway scatter ownhome borninstate,
mstyle(p2)
Here, we use
mstyle(p2)
to explicitly
select the
p2
style for displaying the
markers, and now the markers are
different in size, shape, and color. The
markers are now larger diamonds that
are a middle-level gray color.

twoway scatter ownhome propval100 borninstate
Now, if we plot two variables, notice
how the first variable is plotted using
the
p1
style and the second variable is
plotted using the
p2
style. We would
have gotten the same result if we had
specified the option
mstyle(p1 p2)
.
