twoway scatter propval100 ownhome,
text(62 45 "DC")
In this graph, there is a single
observation that stands out from the
rest. Rather than use the
mlabel()
option to label all of the markers, we
may want to label just the outlying
point. Here, we use the
text()
option
to add the text
DC
at the (
DC
)
coordinates of (62,45), in effect labeling
that point; see
Options : Adding text
(299) for more details.

title(This is a Title, box bfcolor(dimgray)
blcolor(black) blwidth(thick))
Most items of text on a Stata graph
actually display within a box. We
illustrate this with the
title()
option
showing how we can place a box around
this text. We make the background
color of the box light gray and the
outline thick and black. These options
are described in more detail in
Options : Textboxes
(303).
