[xuan leng]

Dear all,
I am using the code of spmap by Stata SE 16.0,but here some problems. The example data are as follows(just a part city of China):

Where I use the code is "spmap", more details as you can see:

spmap value using china_city_coord.dta, id(ID) ///
fcolor("252 255 164" "252 181 25" "237 105 37" "187 55 84" ///
"120 28 109" "51 10 95") ///
ocolor("black" ...) ///
clmethod(custom) clbreaks(0 14 28 42 56 70 84) ///
ti(Stata 绘制带九段线小地图的中国市级地图, size(*1.1) color(black)) ///
graphr(margin(medium)) ///
subti("2019 年中国市级行政区划", color(black)) ///
caption("版本 2.0 | TidyFriday 出品", size(*0.8)) ///
osize(vvthin ...) ///
legend(size(*1.3) ///
order(2 "0～14" 3 "14～28" 4 "28～42" 5 "42～56" 6 "56～70" 7 "70～84") ///
ti(示例数据, size(*0.5) pos(11) color(black)) color(black)) ///
line(data(mybox_coord) size(*0.5 ...) color(black)) ///
xsize(13) ysize(10)

In the end, the map has many lines. I don't want to have such lines. So, how to solve it? What's more, the state 15 can do it well.

Hello!

You might select the line suboption "pattern" and specify "1" for evey type of line: say you have only one type of line (by suboption not used), the command would be "...pattern("1"). This might solve your problem, you should obtain the "solid" effect anyway.
