turn off dotted lines in marginsplot, recast(dot)

[Jeremy Reynolds]

Dear Statalist,

Does anyone know how to get rid of the vertical dotted lines in the plot below? I tried adding " dots(mcolor(bg))" to the end of the marginsplot command, but Stata would not allow that.

Thanks,

Jeremy

You can specify a color matching the background depending on your scheme, e.g.,

marginsplot, recast(dot) xdim(agegrp) plotopts(dcolor(white))

Thanks, Andrew. Is there also a way to turn the dots off (or hide them better)?
When I make the graph more complicated (see below), the white dotted lines affect how other items appear.

[Rich Goldstein]

you can turn off the color (i.e., make it "transparent") - see

Thank you! The code below worked.
