Graph Proc

Graph Proc:

graph_name.options option_list

size(w, h)

Specifies the size of the plotting frame in virtual inches

(w=width, h=height).

lineauto

Use solid lines when drawing in color and use patterns

and grayscale when drawing in black and white.

linesolid

Always use solid lines.

linepat

Always use line patterns.

color / -color

Specifies that lines/filled areas [use / do not use] color.

Note that if the “lineauto” option option is specified,

this choice will also influence the type of line or filled

area drawn on screen: if color is specified, solid colored

lines and filled areas will be drawn; if color is turned

off, lines will be drawn using black and white line pat-

terns, and gray scales will be used for filled areas.

barlabelabove /

[Place / Do not place] text value of data above bar in

-barlabelabove

bar graph.

barlabelinside /

[Place / Do not place] text value of data inside bar in

-barlabelinside

bar graph.

outlinebars /

[Outline / Do not outline] bars in a bar graph.

-outlinebars

options—377

backcolor(arg)

Sets the background color of the graph. arg may be one

of the predefined color keywords, or it may be made up

of n1, n2, n3, a set of three integers from 0 to 255, rep-

resenting the RGB values of the color. For a description

of the available color keywords (“blue”, “red”, “green”,

“black”, “white”, “purple”, “orange”, “yellow”, “gray”,

“ltgray”), see setfillcolor (p. 453).

framecolor(arg)

Sets the background color of the graph frame. arg may

be one of the predefined color keywords, or it may be

made up of n1, n2, n3, a set of three integers from 0 to

255, representing the RGB values of the color. For a

description of the available color keywords (“blue”,

“red”, “green”, “black”, “white”, “purple”, “orange”,

“yellow”, “gray”, “ltgray”), see setfillcolor

(p. 453).

framewidth(n)

Sets the width of the graph frame in points. n should be

a number between 0.25 and 5.

frameaxes(arg)

Specifies which frame axes to display. arg may be one

of the keywords: “all”, “none”, or “labeled” (all axes

that have labels), or any combination of letters “l”

(left), “r” (right), “t” (top), and “b” (bottom), e.g. “lrt”

for left, right and top.

indenth(n)

Sets the horizontal indentation of the graph from the

graph frame in virtual inches. n should be a number

between 0 and 0.75.

indentv(n)

Sets the vertical indentation of the graph from the graph

frame in virtual inches. n should be a number between

0 and 0.75.

background /

[Include / Do not include] the background color when

-background

exporting or printing the graph.

d=arg

Specify likelihood: normal likelihood function, ordered

(default=“n”)

probit (“n” ), logistic likelihood function, ordered logit

(“l”), Type I extreme value likelihood function, ordered

Gompit (“x”).

q (default)

Use quadratic hill climbing as the maximization algo-

rithm.

r

Use Newton-Raphson as the maximization algorithm.

h

Quasi-maximum likelihood (QML) standard errors.

g

GLM standard errors.

m=integer

Set maximum number of iterations.

c=scalar

Set convergence criterion. The criterion is based upon

the maximum of the percentage changes in the scaled

coefficients.

s=number

Specify a number between zero and one to determine

starting values as a fraction of preliminary EViews

default values (out of range values are set to “s=1”).

showopts /

[Do / do not] display the starting coefficient values and

-showopts

estimation options in the estimation output.

deriv=keyword

Set derivative methods. The argument keyword should

be a oneor two-letter string. The first letter should

either be “f” or “a” corresponding to fast or accurate

numeric derivatives (if used). The second letter should

be either “n” (always use numeric) or “a” (use analytic

if possible). If omitted, EViews will use the global

defaults.

p

Print results.
