"By"- graphs in s1color scheme: how to change background color to white?

[Andrea Maier]

Hello,

I am doing scatterplots and bar charts with the by option. I want to use s1color, as I have other graphs, where I need colours to make them readable.

But I dislike the yellow background color in the by option. Any idea how to change that in stata 12?

Here is an example:

sysuse auto, clear
scatter price mpg, by(foreign, note("")) msize(tiny) scheme(s1color)

I also would appreciate if I could change the color of the dots, but that is okay. Thanks!

mcolor() is standard for marker colour, just as you have msize().

Otherwise the only colour evident to me here is the background of the subtitle. Does

scatter price mpg, by(foreign, note("")) msize(tiny) scheme(s1color) subtitle(, fcolor(white))

point in the right direction?

Yeah, that is truly right, exactly what I was searching for. Thank you very much.
