help with overlapping sctater plots

[abdelilah arredouani]

Dear All,
I am using the code below to create multiple oberlapping scatter plots including fitted line. i am creating scatter plots for men and women for different depnedent variables and the same independent varible. when the the plot is created i don't know which color is for men and which oone is for women. what should i add the to the code to leable the colors by gender.

thanks in advance

ocal j = 1
local names
foreach v of varlist bmi_w waistcm_w hipcm_w whratio_w fatmass_w  fmi_w fat_w bai_w vat_w ffm_w bodyweighkg_w {
     twoway (scatter `v' psaaa_w if sex==0)(scatter `v' psaaa_w if sex==1) (lfit `v' psaaa_w if sex==0)(lfit `v' psaaa_w if sex==1), name(graph`j')
     local names `names' graph`j'
     local ++j
}

graph combine `names'

(scatter `v' psaaa_w if sex==0, mcolor(red))(scatter `v' psaaa_w if sex==1, mcolor(blue))

Since you are using the default scheme, the order of the legend combined with the order specified in the code suggests that blue is sex==0 and red is sex==1. But the question is what does sex==1 represent? Better coding practice suggests that you should rename the variable "male" or "female" depending on the sex of the positive category.

Thanks Andrew. sex==0 means male and sex==1 is female.
