The section
Standard options : Sizing
graphs
(322) describes options we can
use to control the size of the graph and
the scale of the contents of the graph.
Here, we show the
xsize()
,
ysize()
,
and
scale()
options.

Saving and combining graphs, save/redisplay/combine
This section shows how to save, redisplay, and combine Stata graphs. We begin by
showing how to save graphs either to disk or in memory. We also show how to redisplay
the graph and, when we redisplay the graph, control the look of the graph.
twoway histogram urban,
saving(hist1)
Most, if not all, Stata graph commands
allow us to use the
saving()
option to
save the graph as a Stata
.gph
file. We
save this graph, naming it
hist1.gph
,
and store it in the current directory.
We will assume in these examples that
all graphs are stored in the current
directory, but we can precede the
filename with a directory name and
store it wherever we wish.
