How to remove top and right border on graph

[Annabelle Coleman]

Hello,

I have created a two-way scatter plot however I want to get rid of the black border that it puts around the graph on the top and right edges.

Does anyone know code that would get rid of this?

Thank you,
Annabelle

Borders are a function of the scheme. Show us your exact scheme and commands (and preferably upload an image) to illustrate what you want to get rid of.

Hello Andrew,

This is the code I am using:


twoway (scatter `s_type1' `s_type2' if disease_grp==0 , msymbol(circle) mcolor("`INF_grey'") mlcolor(black) mlwidth(vthin)) ///
(scatter `s_type1' `s_type2' if disease_grp==1 , msymbol(circle) mcolor("`INF_gold'") mlcolor(black) mlwidth(vthin)) ///
(scatter `s_type1' `s_type2' if disease_grp==2 , msymbol(circle) mcolor("`INF_Red'") mlcolor(black) mlwidth(vthin)) ///
(function y=x , range(``obj'`analyte'y') lcolor(midblue)), ///
legend(off) ytitle("`s_type1'") xtitle("`s_type2'") ///
xlabel(``obj'`analyte'xlab') xscale(range(``obj'`analyte'x')) ///
ylabel(``obj'`analyte'ylab') xscale(range(``obj'`analyte'y')) ///
aspectratio(1) ///

And this is the graph it produces:

I would like to remove the black border on the right and on the top.

to find out what scheme you are using, type

query graphics

then post the result within a CODE block

[Annabelle Coleman]

This is the results:

. query graphics
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Graphics settings
set graphics on
set scheme s1color
set printcolor asis may be automatic, asis, gs1, gs2,
> gs3
set copycolor asis may be automatic, asis, gs1, gs2,
> gs3
set maxbezierpath 0 bezier path elements

You can use the graph editor. With the command gr_edit:

sysuse auto, clear
set scheme s1color
scatter mpg weight
scatter mpg weight
gr_edit .plotregion1.style.editstyle boxstyle(linestyle(color(none))) editcopy

This works! Thank you!

Just for future reference, how do I type code in a code box?

[Andrew Musau]

Click on the hash button (#) in the Advanced Editor. This will create CODE delimiters and you write code within the delimiters.

In Stata 18 this choice is now the default.
