Exporting graphs in eps format

[Dario Maimone Ansaldo Patti]

Hi,

I have the following issue. I generate some graphs using marginsplot and I save them in eps file. This is the code:

marginsplot, yline(0, lpattern(dash)) recast(line) recastci(rarea) ciopt(color(%20)) ylabel(-0.05(0.01)0.15, labsize(small)) xlabel(0(0.05)1, labsize(small))

I use ciopt to get transaparency in the plot. The resulting graph is something like this:




Then I export the graph in eps format, since I want to include it in a LaTex file. But then, transparency disappears. The graph looks like to following:




Which is the reason for that? Does transparency works only for gph files? Thanks in advance.

On the discussion linked to below, a StataCorp representative tells us that EPS is a legacy format that does not support transparency. It may be time to move to SVG or some other format.

Thanks William. Yes, this seems to be the better solution.
