graph hbar wage, over(occ5) over(married) asyvar
ytitle("Years of" "experience",
size(vlarge) box bexpand
)
Because this title is considered to be a
textbox, you can use a variety of
textbox options to control the look of
the title. In this example, the title is
made large with a box around it, and
the
bexpand
(box expand) makes the
box expand to fill the width of the plot
area. See
Options : Textboxes
(303) for
additional examples of how to use
textbox options to control the display
of text.

option is used to place a
thick, red, dashed line on the graph
where

option is still called
yline()
since the
y

single
-axis is the axis with the continuous
