Subject | st: Question about -spmap-, defining polygons, and/or Stata colors |
Date | Mon, 16 Jan 2012 16:38:40 +0100 |
Dear list members, I have a question about Pisani's -spmap- and Stata colors: I'd like to draw a map with counties and states, and would like to color treated counties darker than non-treated ones. I mostly get there with the following command: spmap Treated using "C:\coord", id(id) fcolor(Blues) ndfcolor(blue) clmethod(unique) polygon(data("C:\states") osize(0.75)) legend(position(11)) title("Treated") The only problem is that apparently for 4 counties the polygons are not defined in my coordinates dataset. However, I know that these areas (situated entirely within the treated region) should also be colored as treated, so I'd like the non-defined to get the same color as the treated areas. But I don't manage to. Any ideas? I've tried entering -blue-, -navy- etc for -ndfcolor()- but never manage to capture the same color as is automatically picked for the surrounding areas using the "Blues" pattern. (same problem when I try analogously with Reds). I also considered whether I couldn't just define the missing polygons, but I'm not sure how I would do that? Thanks a lot for any suggestions, Chris * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
