graph box wage, nooutside over(occ5)
Consider this graph showing the hourly
wages broken down by occupation. 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.

graph box prev exp tenure, nooutside over(occ5)
ytitle("Years of experience")
Looking at previous and current work
experience over occupations, we can use
the
ytitle()
option to add a title to
the
-axis. See
Options : Axis titles
(254)
and [
G
]
axis title options
for more
details, but please disregard any
references to
xtitle()
there since that
option is not valid when using
graph

.

ytitle("Years of" "experience")
In this example, we place the title
across two lines by using two separate
quoted strings. Note that, even though
we have used
graph
hbox
to place the
y
Prof/Mgmt
Sales
-axis on the bottom axis, we still
should use
ytitle()
to change the title
of that axis.
