Graphs by Region North or Not
twoway
scatter
propval100 ownhome, by(north,
compact
)
If we compare the previous scatterplot
matrix to this twoway scatterplot, we
see that the
compact
option does not
make the scatterplot matrix as compact
as it does with a regular
twoway
scatter
command, which joins the two
graphs on their edges by omitting the
y
S & W
North
-labels between the two graphs.

maxes(ylabel(, nolabels))
We can make the
graph matrix
display
more compactly with the
by()
option
by using the
maxes(ylabel(,

option to suppress the
labels on all of the
