Formatting a graph

[Scott Rick]

Hi. I would like to generate a graph like the one in black and white below. However, my code below results in the other graph below. I'd appreciate any help with the formatting here.

twoway     (scatter b_confirmed_1_b_trend b_confirmed_1_b, ///
            msymbol(o) mcolor(gs0)) ///
        (function y = x, range(-0.2 1)) ///
        , ///
    ylabel(-1(0.2)1, glcolor(gs14)) ///
    ytitle("{bf:Effect on log net price with differential trends}") ///
    xlabel(0(0.2)1) xtitle("{bf:Effect on log net price}", height(6)) ///
    legend(off)
graph export "${paperdir}\Figures\Figure A14.pdf", as(pdf) replace

My best guess is that your default graph scheme is set to economist. You might want to add an option like scheme(stmono2) (on Stata 18) to your twoway command.

Alternatively, if you don't like your current default, you could also change it with something like

set scheme stmono2, permanently

Hemanshu Kumar Thanks. That worked perfectly!
