Does anyone have a good sense (technical and/or aesthetic) why Stata defaults to a fill intensity under 100% for certain –twoway– graphs (e.g. bar, area, etc., but not hist)?
For instance compare the output of the two (rather silly) graphs produced by this code:
If one enters graph editor with the second of these graphs still in memory one will see that the fill intensity is 80%.
The default intensity can be overridden with the –fintensity()– option, but why the default intensity is not 100% is what baffles me.
From what I can tell this does not appear to be a scheme-specific issue.
For instance compare the output of the two (rather silly) graphs produced by this code:
Code:
sysuse auto tw hist rep78, discrete fcol(ebblue) lcol(ebblue*1.25) sch(sj) tw bar foreign rep78, fcol(ebblue) lcol(ebblue*1.25) sch(sj)
The default intensity can be overridden with the –fintensity()– option, but why the default intensity is not 100% is what baffles me.
