coefplot and axis labels of different colors

[natalia malancu]

Hi all!

I am using coefplot to plot predicted probabilities at certain values for 5 model specifications x 4 subgroups.

Each predicted probability and the corresponding CI is of a certain color that matches the group for which the batch of models was estimated.

Is there a way to make the color of the label text for each group match the color used for the estimates (marker and CI spikes)?

In this specific case, make the Turkish label "cranberry", Moroccan "olive" and Pakistani "navy".

Based on the graph editor it does seem to have to do with tick labels, but would like to implement this via code rather than editor

// File created by Graph Editor Recorder.
// Edit only if you know what you are doing.

.yaxis1.major.num_rule_ticks = 0
.yaxis1.edit_tick 3 3 `"Moroccan"', custom tickset(major) editstyle(tickstyle(textstyle(color(olive))) )
// yaxis1 edits

Many thanks in advance,
Natalia

coefplot is from SSC, as you are asked to explain (FAQ Advice #12). I don't think that you can do it with -ylabel()- as it affects the rendition of the entire axis labels. You can use the undocumented command gr_edit to run code retrieved from the graph editor. After running the coefplot command:

local colors black cranberry olive navy
local group Yugoslavs Turkish Moroccan Pakistani
forval i=2/ `=wordcount("`colors'")'{
    gr_edit .yaxis1.major.num_rule_ticks = 0
    gr_edit .yaxis1.edit_tick `i' `i' "`=word("`group'", `i')'", custom tickset(major) editstyle(tickstyle(textstyle(color("`=word("`colors'", `i')'"))) )
    local ++i
}
