Stata colors how to#

Each entry shows a graph command (with the emphasized portion of the command highlighted in red), the resulting graph, a description of what is being done, and the dataset used.

The heart of each chapter is a series of entries that are typically formatted three to a page. You can see the color-coded chapter tabs without opening the book, providing quick visual access to each chapter. A color-coded, visual table of contents runs along the edge of every page and shows readers exactly where they are in the book. The book's visual style makes it easy to find exactly what you need. Finally, the look of graphs throughout the book has changed-most graphs are now created using a common updated scheme.

New examples have also been added that show how to change the size of graph elements such as text, markers, and line widths using both absolute units (points, inches, and centimeters) as well as relative units (line large or *2 for two times the original size). In the discussion of text modifications, Mitchell now shows how to include Unicode characters such as Greek letters, symbols, and emojis. The section on colors has been greatly expanded to include over 50 examples that demonstrate how to modify colors, add transparency, and change intensity. This edition includes new discussions of color, Unicode characters, export formats, sizing of graph elements, and schemes.
