If we wish, we can move the
-axis to
the opposite side of the graph. Here, we
add the
xalternate
option, which
moves the labels for the
Previous Exp
34−37 yrs
Current Exp
Total Exp
-axis to the
opposite side, in this case from the left
to the right. You can also use the
yalternate
option to move the

to its opposite side.

In the previous examples, we saw that the
relabel
option can be used in the
over()
option to control the labeling of
over()
variables and can be used within
yvaroptions()
to control the labeling of multiple
y
-variables (provided that the
ascategory
option is used
to convert the multiple
-variables into categories). We will further explore other
over()
options, which can be used with either
over()
or
yvaroptions()
.

We can use the
label(nolabels)
option to suppress the display of the
labels associated with the levels of
occ7
.The
label(nolabels)
option is
generally not useful alone but is very
useful in combination with other means
to label the bars. Consider the next
example.
