{marker description}{...}
{title:Description}

{pstd}
A {it:plotregionstyle} controls the overall look of a plot region.

{pstd}
Plot region styles are used only in scheme files (see {help scheme files})
and are not accessible from {helpb graph} commands.  To learn about the
{cmd:graph} options that affect plot styles, see
{manhelpi region_options G-3}.


{marker remarks}{...}
{title:Remarks}

{pstd}
The look of plot regions is defined by four sets of attributes:

{phang2}
    1.  {it:marginstyle} -- the internal margin of the plot region;{break}
	see {manhelpi marginstyle G-4}

{phang2}
    2.  overall {it:areastyle} -- the look of the total area of the
    plot region;  see {manhelpi areastyle G-4}

{phang2}
    3.  internal {it:areastyle} -- the look of the area within the 
    	margin; {break}
	see {manhelpi areastyle G-4}

{phang2}
    4.  positioning -- horizontal and vertical positioning of the plot
            region if the space where the region is located is larger than the
            plot region itself

{pstd}
A {it:plotregionstyle} specifies all these attributes.
