Dear Stata-listers,
I'm using Stata 8 SE and have made several boxplots. Next, I would
like to change the thickness of the lines of the graphs (for larger prints).
I was able to change the thickness of the lines in the boxplot itself, as well
as the line thickness of the y axis. Strangely enough, I can't seem to get
the same result for the x-axis where the labels are placed.
As an example, the command line for the variation in earnings between
sectors is:
graph box earnings, medtype(cline) medline(lcolor(black) lwidth(thick)) over
(sector, label(labsize(large))) horizontal ytitle(, size(large))
scheme(sj) ylabel(0 .5
1, nogrid) yscale(range(0 1) lw(thick)) box(1,blw(thick))
The two latter commands change the thickness of the y-axis and the box itself.
For the x-axis I've tried (among others) adding xscale. I then get the error
message
"xscale(lw(thick)) not allowed, xaxis1 does not exist"
And in the help files of "help graph_box" it says:
"Ignore the x*() options; they are irrelevant in the case of box plots."
Does anybody know if this means the line thickness of the xscale
cannot be changed?
Perhaps there is a simple solution, but I wasn't able to find it in the FAQ, the
archives, nor the help files.
Any advice is greatly appreciated,
With kind regards
Jonah Hansen
