*****************************************************
Thanks Svend for the test, now it's clear that it's some special error which
has nothing to do with the code.
I also tried it with Intercooled 9.1 Stata on a XP-Notebook, same thing.
twoway bar count points, color(red)
-> (option color() not allowed - R198)
other graphs:
scatter count points, mcolor(red)
-> works
graph bar count , over(points) bar(1 color(red))
-> works (but of no use for me)
line count points, lcolor(red)
-> (option color() not allowed - R198)
I also did a Stata repair install and checked the color.class and
color-style files.
So I will contact Stata about this, perhaps they have a clue.
