Stata does not support stripes, whether straight, wavy, or of
some other kind; nor does it support stipples, spots, polka dots,
or other kinds of patterns. The good people at StataCorp read Edward
Tufte's books, and in particular his admonitions about Moire
vibration, and resolved not to do that.
Please change your mail signature from "Stata List" as far
as communications with this list are concerned. This
may amuse you, or otherwise be congenial or convenient,
but I suggest that it is an inappropriate identity for
a member of Statalist. It is not compulsory, but it
is an almost universal habit on this list to use real
names and not hide identities.
