scatter propval100 ownhome, title("My title")
graphregion(
ifcolor(erose) fcolor(maroon)
)
The graph region is actually composed
of an inner part and an outer part.
Here, we use the
ifcolor(erose)
option to make the inner graph region
light rose and the
fcolor(maroon)
option to make the outer graph region
maroon. This has the effect of putting a
maroon frame around the entire graph.

scatter propval100 ownhome, title("My title")
graphregion(
lcolor(navy) lwidth(vthick)
)
We can put a somewhat different frame
around the graph by altering the size
and color of the line that surrounds the
graph region. Using the
lcolor(navy)
lwidth(vthick)
options gives this
graph a very thick, navy blue border.

This section omitted numerous options that we could use to control the plot region and
graph region, including further control of the inner and outer regions and further control of
the lines that surround these regions. Stata gives us more control than we generally need,
so rather than covering these options here, I refer you to [
