With such a large number of options, is it possible to save these dialog values as a
template, so that at a later date the graphics template can be opened and the graph redrawn? My understanding is that once Stata has quit, the settings in the graphics window are lost.

Regards, Garry

Try this line in your command for a snow-white background:

plotregion(fcolor(white)) graphregion(fcolor(white))


Here is an example of a command that I might use:

*********************************************************
graph bar (asis) NCDSab BCSab NCDSinc BCSinc if sex==`sex',
by(level,
title("Figure 1" "Marginal Effect of Cognitive Ability and Log Family"
"Income on Final Schooling Attainment")
subtitle("``sex'' from NCDS and BCS, Age 10-11")
note("Based on ordered probit estimates of the probability of achieving a
given level of schooling. Marginal"
"effects are calculated controlling for family and socio-economic
characteristics"
"Source: Galindo-Rueda and Vignoles (2003).", span size(small) ))
subtitle(, pos(12) ring(1) prefix nobexpand nobox span size(small))
ytitle(Probability)
legend(cols(2) size(small) symxsize(2) symysize(3) span )
lintensity(500) blabel(bar, size(vsmall) format(%9.3f))
plotregion(fcolor(white)) graphregion(fcolor(white))
;
