.

Controlling the y-axis
This section describes options you can use with respect to the
y
-axis with box charts.
To be precise, when Stata refers to the
-axis on a box chart, it refers to the axis with the
continuous variable, whether the left axis when using
graph box
or the bottom axis when
using
graph hbox
. This section emphasizes the features that are particularly relevant to
box charts. For more details, see
Options : Axis titles
(254),
Options : Axis labels
(256), and
Options : Axis scales
(265). See also [
G
]
axis title options
,[
G
]
axis label options
,and
[
G
]
axis scale options
. These examples are shown using the
vg lgndc
scheme, which
places the legend to the left in a single column.
