Coefplot: change color of bar in the graph in stata

Question

I have multiple regressions and I used the coefplot command to add all of the confidence intervals on one graph with a bar. Is it possible to change the color of the bars to be the same for each dependent variable in the graph. Here is my code below:

coefplot (A, label("Male")) (B, label("Female")) (C, label("Male")) (D, label("Female")) (E, label("Male")) (F, label("Female")) (G, label("Male")) (H, label("Female")), xline(0) recast(bar) ciopts(recast(rcap)) citop barwidt(0.3)

Thank you.

It's easier to help if you can provide a data example. Please read help dataex and the stata tag wiki. I would suggest looking through the documentation of help coefplot and graph bar as a starting point. — Cybernike

You should be able to do something like

coefplot (A, label("Male") bcolor(grey)) (B, label("Female") bcolor(blue)) ///
         (C, label("Male") bcolor(grey)) (D, label("Female") bcolor(blue)) ///
         (E, label("Male") bcolor(grey)) (F, label("Female") bcolor(blue)) ///
         (G, label("Male") bcolor(grey)) (H, label("Female") bcolor(blue)), ///
         xline(0) recast(bar) ciopts(recast(rcap)) citop barwidt(0.3)

This would make it so that all the bars labeled "male" are grey and those labeled "female" are blue.
