Stata Tip: How to Make Your Graphs Look Nice

Tal Gross tweeted some really nice, easy tips on how to make your Stata graphs look just a little bit nicer than the default graphs.

Tip #1: Use labels instead of legends. They look so much more professional!
Tip #2: Make all text horizontal (I guess I don't feel so strongly about this one).
Tip #3: Get rid of unnecessary ink. Yes, this does make the graph look like you took just a little bit of time to make the graph your own.

The best part: Stata code is included in the thread. Go ahead and copy-paste his code into your code.
