sts graph -- edit line characteristics

[Tom Trader]

If I use the sts graph command I can't figure out how to choose different line properties (e.g., the line pattern, line color, etc.)

Further, if I type

sts graph, by(sex)

I would like to choose the properties for both the Male and Female survival plots.


Any advice how to do this?

In the future, please provide a reproducible example as advised in the FAQs. In this instance, this additionally includes a data example. For most Stata command graphs, twoway options apply.
