graph box prev exp tenure ttl exp, nooutsides
capsize(5)
The
capsize()
option allows you to
specify the size of the caps (if any) on
the adjacent line. The default value is
0, meaning that no cap is displayed.
Here, we add a small cap to the
adjacent line.

The
marker()
option allows you to
control the markers used to display the
outside values. You can control this
separately for each
-variable. Here, we
make the outside value for
tenure
display as large, hollow circles.

Graphing by groups
This section discusses the use of the
by()
option in combination with
graph box
.Nor-
mally, you would use the
over()
option instead of the
by()
option, but in some cases the
by()
option is either necessary or more advantageous. For example, a
by()
option is useful
if you exceed the maximum number of
over()
options (three if you have a single
y
-variable
y
or two if you have multiple
-variables). In such cases, the
by()
option allows you to break
your data down by additional categorical variables. Also,
by()
gives you more flexibility
in the placement of the separate panels. For more information about the
by()
option, see
Options : By
(272); for more information about the
over()
option, see
Box : Yvars and over
(157).
