Axis titles bleeding into plot area

[Thomas Ogorzalek]

Hello! First time poster, thank you all for your helpful advice in the past. And apologies if this is duplicative, but I didn't see another thread.

I am encountering a new problem with my twoway plots. For some reason, the axis labels are being drawn in the plot area itself, as in this hbar:

use http://ssc.wisc.edu/sscc/pubs/bargraphs/bar_example.dta, clear
graph hbar, over(sat)

The labels should all be to the left of the axis line but they go onto the plot. It's happening for simple things like this, but also for more complicated ones like coefplot. I'm assuming a permanent margin setting got tweaked somewhere.

set_default graphics doesn't resolve the issue.
Any ideas? Thanks!

What scheme are you using? That is not the default s2color. Try updating your installation.

update all

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for that idea. I tried it, and also tried to reset graphics settings to factory defaults. No luck, same result! For what it's worth I'm working with Stata 16.1.

update all
set_defaults _all

use http://ssc.wisc.edu/sscc/pubs/bargraphs/bar_example.dta, clear
graph hbar, over(sat)

You may have to reinstall Stata or contact Technical Services for assistance. If the issue is just the margin, a workaround may be increasing the outer margin gap.

sysuse auto, clear
set scheme s1mono
scatter mpg weight, saving(gr1, replace)
scatter mpg weight, saving(gr2, replace) ysc(outergap(*30))
gr combine gr1.gph gr2.gph, col(1)

Thanks again Andrew.
I tried both suggestions (that extra ysc option and reinstalling Stata from scratch)...same result! I'll reach out to Stata tech support.
