graph use
hist1.gph
At a later time (including after quitting
and restarting Stata), we can view the
saved graph with the
graph use
command. If
hist1.gph
had been
stored in a different directory, we would
have to precede it with the directory
where it was saved or use the
cd
command to change to that directory.

graph use hist1.gph,
scheme(s1mono)
When we view the graph, we can add
the
scheme()
option to view the same
graph using a different scheme. Here,
we view the last graph but use the
s1mono
scheme.

The
name()
option is much like the
saving()
option, except that the graph
is saved in memory instead of on disk.
We can then view the graph later
within the same Stata session, but once
we quit Stata, the graph in memory
will be gone.
