The options listed above allow you to changeeach attribute, butstyle()provides a starting need not specifystyle()just because there is something you want to change. You specifystyle()when another style exists that is exactly what you desire or when another style wouldallow you to specify fewer changes to obtain what you [G-4]areastylefor a list of available area (pstyle)specifies the overall style of the plot, including not only theareastyle, but also allother settings for the look of the plot. Only theareastyleaffects the look of areas. See [G-4]pstylefor a list of available plot (newplottype)is an advanced option allowing the plot to be recast from one type to another,for example, from an area plot to a line plot; see [G-3]advancedoptions.

For example,. graph twoway rspikey1var y2var xvar, lcolor(red)will set the color of the horizontal spikes between values ofy1varandy2varto with graph dotIf you specifygraph dot slinetype(rectangle)option, the dot chart will be drawn withrectangles substituted for the dots.
