graph box prev exp tenure ttl exp, nooutsides
Consider this box plot of three different
variables. These variables are shown
with different colors, and a legend is
used to identify the variables. We use
the
nooutsides
option to suppress the
display of outside values. For the rest
of the graphs in this section, there
would be a large number of outside
values, which would make the graphs
very cluttered, so we will include the
nooutsides
option for each example.

asyvars
This is another example of where a
legend can arise in a Stata box plot by
using the
asyvars
option, which treats
an
over()
variable as though the levels
were different
-variables.

Unless otherwise mentioned, the

options described below work the same
whether the legend was derived from multiple
-variables or from an
over()
option that
was combined with the
asyvars
option. These examples use the
