mcolor(gs8)
The
mcolor()
(marker color) option is
used here to make the marker a middle
gray. Stata provides 17 levels of gray
named
gs0
to
gs16
. The darkest is
gs0
(a synonym for
black
), and the lightest
is
gs16
(a synonym for
white
).

vgcolormap, quietly
This
vgcolormap
command is a
command that I wrote to show the
different standard colors available in
Stata all at once. We simply issue the
command
vgcolormap
, and it creates a
scatterplot that shows the colors we can
choose from and their names. See the
list of colors available in [
G
]
colorstyle
,
and see how to get
vgcolormap
in
Appendix : Online supplements
(382).
