Adding Color to Different Labels with Coefplot

[Sophia Scaglioni]

Hi all!

Does anyone have ideas on how to change the color of the headings within coefplot ?

coeflabels(1 = "{bf:First Row}" 2 = `""{bf:Header 1 , That I'd like to be Bold and Red}}" "{bf:Second Row}" "(R{sup:{it:2}}{sub:{it:adj}} = `r2_row_2')""' 3 = `""{bf:Third Row}" "(R{sup:{it:2}}{sub:{it:adj}} = `r2_row_3')""' .....

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

coefplot is from SSC (FAQ Advice #12). coefplot may call these coeflabels, but these are axis labels using twoway terminology. There is no option to specify different colors for the axis labels, see

help axis_label_options

However, you can use the graph editor to do this. If you need to do this often, obtain the recording, generalize it and run this using the undocumented gr_edit command.

maybe:

clear all
sysuse auto
regress price mpg headroom trunk length turn

coefplot, ///
    drop(_cons) ///
    xline(0)  ///
    ylab(1 `""""', custom labcolor(none)) ///
    ylab(1 `"{bf:row one bold red}"', add custom labcolor(red)) ///    
    ylab(2 `"row 2 navy"', add custom labcolor(navy)) ///  
    ylab(3 `"row 3 dkgreen"', add custom labcolor(dkgreen)) ///
    ylab(4 `"row 4 dkorange"', add custom labcolor(dkorange)) ///
    ylab(5 `"{it:row 5 it red}"', add custom labcolor(red))

This works for twoway, so the statement in #2 is incorrect. I did not know you could have multiple -ylab()- options.Thanks for this Bjarte Aagnes.

sysuse auto, clear
scatter rep78 mpg
scatter rep78 mpg, ylab(5 "Excellent", add custom labcolor(red)) ///
ylab(4 "V. good", add custom labcolor(blue))
