Position of legend in a combined graph

[Dario Maimone Ansaldo Patti]

Dear All,

I generate sever graphs, which I like to combine in one. Each graph displays its legend (which is actually common to all of them). When I combine graphs, the legend is moved upon the figure. I am just wondering if there is any chance to use only one legend, which I put at the end of the combined graph.

foreach v of local regressors{
grmap msp_resi1_`v' if NUTS_ID!="ES70" & NUTS_ID!="PT30" & NUTS_ID!="PT20", fcolor(blue blue*0.2 red*0.2 red) clmethod(custom) clb(0 1 2 3 4) legend(order( 5 "High-High" 4 "High-low" 3 "Low-High" 2 "Low-Low") position(3)) title(`v') name(LISA`v')
}

graph combine LISA1 LISA2 LISA3 LISA4 LISA5 LISA6 LISA7

I tried to remove the legend from the loop and put it in the graph combine, but it does not work.I tried to change the position of lagend, but whichever position I choose, the result is not different.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance,

Dario

Yes, you can recast your problem so that the graph comes out of a by() option rather than graph combine.

SJ-20-4 gr0085  .  The by() option of graph can work better than graph combine

You might want to try the community-contributed command grc1leg2, available from

net install grc1leg2.pkg

Nick Cox and Hemanshu Kumar Thank you. I noted that the command grc1leg2 also offers example using the by option. It also has a very detailed and useful help file.

My ado command -grc1leg2- is easier to describe or install with the command:

view net describe grc1leg2, from("http://digital.cgdev.org/doc/stata/MO/Misc")
