scatter propval100 rent700 ownhome
This scatterplot illustrates the
vg outc
scheme. It is based on the
s2color
scheme but makes the fill color of the
bars/boxes/markers white, so they
appear hollow. The plot region is a
light blue to contrast with the white fill
color. In this case, this scheme is useful
to help us see number of markers
present where numerous markers are
close or partially overlapping.

scatter propval100 rent700 ownhome
This example is similar to the previous
one but illustrates the
vg outm
scheme,
the monochrome equivalent of the
vg outc
scheme. It is based on the
s2mono
scheme but makes the fill color
of the bars/boxes/markers white, so
they appear hollow.

(scatter ownhome borninstate), legend(off)
This is an example of the
vg samec
scheme, based on
s2color
, and makes
all of the markers, lines, bars, etc., the
same color, shape, and pattern. Here,
the second
scatter
command labels
Washington,
DC
, which normally would
be shown in a different color, but with
this scheme, the marker is the same.
This scheme has a monochrome
equivalent called
vg samem
that is not
illustrated.
