Dear Eva,
Though I don't know the reason, this is not the only case when it happens.
E.g.:
sysuse auto, clear
twoway line l w, lw(0)
twoway line l w, lw(none)
both give you a visible line of the width ~1 pixel, rather than a
no-line as the help says:
============= QUOTE ==========================
linewidthstyle description
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
none line has zero width; it vanishes
============ END QUOTE ===========================
Perhaps it works on other platforms? (not Windows?)
Regards,
Sergiy Radyakin
