)
Because this title is considered to be a
textbox, you can use a variety of
textbox options to control the look of
the title. This example makes the title
very large, surrounds it with a box, and
uses the
bexpand
(box expand) option
to stretch the box to fill the width of
the plot area. See
Options : Textboxes
(303) for additional examples of how to
use textbox options to control the
display of text.

yline(4 12, lwidth(medthick) lcolor(maroon) lpattern(dash))
In this example, we use the
yline()
option to add a medium-thick, maroon,
dashed line to the points in the graph
where wages equal 4 and 12. Note that
we would still use

ylabel(5(10)25)
We can use the
ylabel()
option to
label the
-axis. In this case, we use the
labels going from 5 to 25 by increments
of 10. Note that the
y
Prof/Mgmt
-axis still starts
at 0, and we would have to supply the
exclude0
option, so 0 is not necessarily
the starting point for the
y
Sales
Clerical
-axis. See
Options : Axis labels
(256) and
[

axis label options
for more
details. Please disregard any references
to
xlabel()
since that option is not
valid when using
graph box
.
