Format Colours CI Coefplot

[Joan Marti]

I am creating coefficient plots for different models next to each other, and I want to change the colour of the confidence intervals in each one of the models, but whatever I try it changes the colours of all plots. Here is a reproducible example:

sysuse auto, clear
reg rep78 mpg
estimate store reg1
reg turn mpg
estimate store reg2
coefplot reg1, bylabel(Reg1) || reg2, bylabel(Reg2) ||, keep(mpg) xline(0, lpattern(dash)) nokey ciopts(lcolor("blue") recast(rcap)) color("blue") subtitle(, fcolor(white) margin(medium) lcolor(gs10) lwidth(thick)) byopts(rows(1) graphregion(color(white))) level(90)

How do I change stata what specific colour I want for each of the two plots? For example how do I change the colour of the confidence intervals on the plot on the right to red?

Thank you very much!

coefplot is from the Stata Journal/ SSC, as you are asked to explain (FAQ Advice #12). As in standard twoway-type graphs, you affect the rendition of a particular confidence interval using the syntax

ci#opt()

where (#= 1, 2, ..., k), for a total of k plots.

Thank you Andrew, however I tried using this option and Stata tells me "option ci1opt() not allowed", am I using it wrong?

[Andrew Musau]

I think you want the option -norecycle-

set scheme s1color
coefplot reg1, bylabel(Reg1) mc(blue) ciopt(lc(blue))|| reg2, bylabel(Reg2)  mc(red) ciopt(lc(red))||, keep(mpg) xline(0, lp(dash)) nokey norecycle

Now it works perfectly, thank you so much!
