st: -gorciv- question

[Scott Cunningham <scunning@gmail.com>]

I am estimating the following model:

xi: reg rate i.repeal*i.year i.fip, cluster(id)

where repeal is an indicator variable and year is a dummy for each  
year of the dataset ranging from 1985 to 2000.  I would like to graph  
the point estimates with confidence intervals for the repealXyear  
interactions, and I am using -gorciv- to do so (mostly because I am  
unfamiliar with any easier way).  I did so this way:

gorciv _IrepXyea_1_1986 _IrepXyea_1_1987 _IrepXyea_1_1988  
_IrepXyea_1_1989 _IrepXyea_1_1990 _IrepXyea_1_1991 _IrepXyea_1_1992  
_IrepXyea_1_1993 _IrepXyea_1_1994 _IrepXyea_1_1995 _IrepXyea_1_1996  
_IrepXyea_1_1997 _IrepXyea_1_1998 _IrepXyea_1_1999  
_IrepXyea_1_2000,   l(95) ti("Point Estimates and CI for repeal/year  
interactions") point

The graph that this produces is nice, although it's all black and I  
would prefer the white background graphs of Stata graphs.  The other  
problem I had was that the x-axis labels are all "_IrepXyear_1_1987"  
etc., which is too crowded and illegible on the x-axis.  Is there a  
way to change the values to something that will fit - like "r87, r88"  
etc. ?

And finally, are there other graphing programs for postestimation  
work, beyond gorciv?

Thanks,
