graph bar wage hours ttl exp, ascategory over(collgrad)
yvaroptions(label(alternate))
This is another example of using the
label(alternate)
option, but in this
case, it is used in the context of
alternating labels created by multiple
y
-variables converted to categories
using the
ascategory
option. In such a
case, the option is specified as
yvaroptions(label(alternate))
.

graph hbar wage, over(occ5, label(
labcolor(green)
))
over(collgrad, label(
labcolor(maroon) labsize(small)
))
We can change the color of the labels
using the
labcolor()
option. Here, we
make the label for
occ5
green and the
label for
collgrad
maroon. We also
use
labsize(small)
to make the labels
for
collgrad
small. See
Styles : Colors
(328) and
Styles : Textsize
(344) for more
details about other values you could
choose.
