I am using Stata 9 to try to draw a Life Table graph for a variable with
6 categories. The 6 slopes on the graph are shown by different, smooth,
coloured lines which is great but I am not printing in colour.
I have tried the symbol command so that each line will be identified by
a different symbol (i.e. dash, dot, long dash and dot etc). However only
the first symbol is recognised when I run the graph so I either have all
lines with a dash, or all lines with a dot for all six categories.

I tried this:

- and I got the same problem as Don: Same line pattern for all curves.
StataCorp: Is this intended behavior? Since it does vary line colors, it
should also be able to vary line patterns.
Don: If you prefer black-and-white graphs I suggest trying the lean
schemes:
