Minha impressão é que gráficos no stata são aditivos como o matplotlib (python) e diferente da "não-comutatividade" do ggplot (R). Dessa forma, assim como os gráficos no matplotlib, não há necessidade de ler um manual sobre gráficos em stata. Tudo que você precisa é responder perguntas no varejo "como mudo a cor do marker no meu gráfico?" e a resposta sempre vai ser mais uma linha de código e não alterar a estrutura dos layers da figura.

Considerando isso, esse livro atende o fim desejado, já que é mais um manual de referência (Cookbook) do que propriamente um guia. Melhor ler a documentação, aprender a fazer gráficos simples e usar esse livro para tirar dúvidas pontuais e lembrar algumas coisas quando estiver fazendo efetivamente o gráfico.
