Customizing Stata graphs made easy

Ben Jann

London Stata Conference 2018 from Stata Users Group

Abstract: The overall look of Stata’s graphs is determined by so-called scheme files. Scheme files are system components, that is, they are part of the local Stata installation. In this talk I will argue that style settings deviating from default schemes should be part of the script producing the graphs rather than being kept in separate scheme files, and I will present software that supports such practice. In particular, I will present a command called grstyle that allows users to quickly change the overall look of graphs without having to fiddle around with external scheme files. I will also present a command called colorpalette that provides a wide variety of colour schemes for use in Stata graphics.
