Stata has a simpler way of applying the
same labels to all the variables in the
scatterplot matrix by using the
maxes()
(multiple axes) option. This example
labels the

xlabel(20(20)100, axis(1)) ylabel(20(20)100, axis(1))
You might want to label most of the
variables in the scatterplot matrix the
same way but with one or more
exceptions in a different way. In this
example, we label all the variables from
0 to 100, incrementing by 20, but then
override the labeling for
urban
to make
it 20 to 100, incrementing by 20. We do
this by adding additional
xlabel()
and
ylabel()
options that apply just for
axis(1)
.

maxes(xlabel(0(20)100) ylabel(0(20)100)
xtick(0(10)100) ytick(0(10)100)
)
Here, we label all of the variables from
0 to 100, in increments of 20, and also
add ticks from 0 to 100, in increments
of 10. Note that the
xtick()
and
ytick()
options work the same way as
the
xlabel()
and
ylabel()
options.
We place these options within the
maxes()
option, and they apply to all
of the axes. See
Options : Axis labels
(256) and
Options : Axis scales
(265) for
more details.
