Speaking Stata: Shading zones on time series and other plots

Stata Journal, 2016, vol. 16, issue 3, 805-812

Abstract: Background shading of time series and other plots is a common need. For example, we often wish to identify particular periods of recession or war or other distinct conditions. The shading should be laid down before the data el- ements (for example, data points or lines). Several methods of shading can be effective. Tips are included for automating the production of a series of similar graphs. Copyright 2016 by StataCorp LP.
