Title

Scheme description: A scheme using the Center for Global Development's palette on a white background

Syntax

To use the cgd scheme, you might specify it as an option in your graph command

. graph
...,
...
scheme(cgd)

Alternatively, set the scheme before running your graph command

. set
scheme
cgd
[,
permanently]

See [G-3] scheme_option and [G-2] set scheme.

Description

Schemes determine the overall look of a graph; see
[G-4] schemes intro.

The cgd scheme modifies Stata's default -s2color- scheme
by substituting a palette composed of CGD's colors and
specifying a white background (instead of -s2color-'s light blue background).
It should work on any version of Stata. See cgd_colors for
more information about the Center for Global Development's
color palette.

The 11 CGD colors are mapped to plots 1 - 11 with plots 12-15 retaining the
colors assigned by -s2color- as follows:

p cgdteal

p1 cgdteal

p2 cgdorange

p3 cgdyellow

p4 cgdpurple

p5 cgdgreen

p6 cgdbluegray

p7 cgdred

p8 cgddkgray

p9 cgdwmgray

p10 cgdbeige

p11 cgdltgray

p12 emerald

p13 erose

p14 goldg

p15 bluishgray

After installing this package, exit Stata and then restart before using this
scheme. After restarting Stata, type the command:

. graph query, schemes

to see a list of all schemes installed on your computer. Among them will
be -cgd-.

Authors

Stata's code for the their default s2color scheme dates back
to the earliest versions of Stata. This scheme, called cgd,
modifies the default -s2color- scheme as described above. The first
version of this scheme was written by Mallika Snyder while she
worked at CGD.
