Legend in event_plot

[Mateus Maciel]

Dear community,

I am trying to put a legend in position 7 of this graph, but it does give me a graph without any legend. Do you know what am I doing wrong?

# delimit ;
event_plot event_twfe_02 event_twfe_04 event_twfe_06, 
    stub_lag(treated_Tp#) stub_lead(treated_Tm#) plottype(scatter) ciplottype(rcap) 
    together   
    graph_opt(title(" ") subtitle(" ") 
        xtitle(" ") ytitle(" ") 
        xscale(r(-1 1)) xlabel(-12(1)12, labsize(medium)) 
        yscale(r(-1 1)) ylabel(-200(50)10, nogrid labsize(medium) angle(2)) 
        graphregion(color(white)) bgcolor(white)
        yline(0, lcolor("190 190 190") lw(0.4)) 
        xline(-1, lcolor("214 39 40") lw(0.4) lp(dash))
        ysize(4) xsize(7)
        legend(order(1 "Men" 2 "Women" 3 "Men and Women")
               region(lstyle(white)) position(8) size(medium) rowgap(0.5)) 
        )         
    lag_opt1(m(O) color("10 80 150")) lag_ci_opt1(color("30 100 180"))
    lag_opt2(m(S) color("10 110 10")) lag_ci_opt2(color("30 130 30"))
    lag_opt3(m(D) color("0 150 150")) lag_ci_opt3(color("30 180 180"))
    alpha(0.10) ;
graph export "./event_study.pdf", replace ;
# delimit cr

This is the graph that the code produces:

event_plot is from SSC, as you are asked to explain (FAQ Advice #12). . Perhaps legend(off) is in operation and you need legend(on) together with your other options to make progress.

Running a trace should help you see the code used. Before you command

set trace on 
set tracedepth 1

where you may need to bump up the depth. You will see much code you don't care about but the last chunk is what may be revealing.

I have never used event_plot and can't promise that is enough to get what you want.

Thanks, Nick! It was the

legend(on)

problem.
