scheme(sj)
The
sj
scheme is very similar to the
s2mono
scheme. In fact, a comparison
of this graph with an earlier graph that
used the
s2mono
scheme shows no
visible differences. The
sj
scheme is
basedonthe
s2mono
scheme and only
alters
xsize()
and
ysize()
. See
Appendix : Customizing schemes
(379) for
more information about how to inspect
(and alter) the contents of graph
schemes.

scheme(economist)
The
economist
scheme is quite
different from all the other schemes and
is a very good example of how much
can be controlled with a scheme. Using
this scheme modifies the colors of the

As these examples have shown, we can change the scheme of a graph by supplying the
scheme()
option on a graph command. If we want to use the same scheme over and over,
we can use the
set scheme
command to set the default scheme. For example, if we typed
. set scheme economist
the default scheme would become
economist
until we quit Stata. Or, we could type
. set scheme economist, permanently
