))
legend(cols(1))
To place the legend in one of the holes,
we can use the
at()
option within the
by()
option. Here, the legend is placed
inside the fourth position. To display
the legend in one column, we use the
legend(cols(1))
option outside of the
by()
option since this does not control
the position of the legend.
