graph box wage, nooutsides over(occ7,
label(angle(45))
) over(collgrad)
In this example, the levels of
occ7
might overlap each other. Using the
label(angle(45))
option makes the
angle of the labels for
occ7
45 degrees,
and they do not overlap.

graph box wage, nooutsides over(occ7,
label(alternate)
) over(collgrad)
Another way we can avoid overlapping
is by adding the
label(alternate)
option. As you can see, the labels
alternate in height, avoiding
overlapping.

graph box wage, nooutsides over(occ7,
label(labsize(small))
) over(collgrad)
We can instead make the size of the
labels smaller to make them fit without
overlapping. Here, we make the label
size small using the
label(labsize(small))
option. See
Styles : Textsize
(344) for other values
you could choose for
labsize()
.
