  • Economist scheme for scatterplot

    Dear Forum,

    I was wondering if you know whether it is possible to make hollow scatter points with the economist theme?
    m(0h) seems to be ignored.
    HTML Code:
    scatter RES SETTING if RESTYPE=="ssre" & RATER=="rater1", m(Oh ))
    I'm not sure if there is a help file somewhere describing all "can/cant do's" with for example the Economist scheme?

    Thanks for advise!

    This is legal and produces what is asked for:

    Code:
    . sysuse auto, clear
    (1978 automobile data)
    
    . set scheme economist
    
    . scatter mpg weight, ms(Oh)
    Note that in your question you say 0h in one place and Oh in another. The 0h with leading zero will certainly be ignored with a message

    Code:
    (note:  named style 0h not found in class symbol, default attributes used)
    I suspect that is the issue, not the scheme.

    The point about a scheme is just that it sets defaults -- any or all of which can be over-ridden, so that there is no need for any such file. There are principles (mine included) and prejudices (other people's, often) about which schemes are good or not so good, yield nice or awful graphs, and so on, but as you know those are different dimensions for discussion.
