line moment? rotation 

and see -help separate-

In Stata 12, I am using the following commands:

twoway (line moment rotation, by(brackettype)) // moment and rotation continuous and brackettype has 4 levels
 
I like to have all graphs in one plot as shown below but somehow I cannot get on the legend below the x-axis to show the levels of brackettype. It shows "brackettype" for all 4 different color lines. If I use "lfit" instead of "line" it shows lfit instead of brackettype.

twoway (line moment rotation if brackettype==1) ||(line moment rotation if brackettype==2) ||(line moment rotation if brackettype==3) ||(line moment rotation if brackettype==4)
 
Any advise would be appreciated.
