graph box wage, nooutsides over(south,
relabel(1 "N & W" 2 "South")
)
over(smsa,
relabel(1 "Non Metro" 2 "Metro")
)
This is an example of a box plot with
two
over()
variables. Here, we use the
relabel()
option to change the labels
displayed for the levels of
south
and
smsa
.

graph box prev exp tenure ttl exp, nooutsides
ascategory
This shows a box plot with multiple
y
-variables but uses the
ascategory
option to plot the different
25
-variables
as if they were categorical variables.
The boxes for the different variables are
the same color, and the categories are
labeled on the
y
20
15
-axis rather than with a
legend. The default labels on the
x
10
x
-axis
are not bad, but we might want to
change them.

If we had an
over()
option, we would
use the
relabel()
option to change the
labels on the
25
x
-axis. But since we had
20
y
multiple
-variables that we have
treated as categories, we then use the
yvaroptions(relabel())
option to
modify the labels on the
15
-axis.
