asyvars
If we add the
asyvars
option, the first
over()
variable (
collgrad
) is graphed
as if there were two
Prof
-variables. The
two levels of
collgrad
are shown as
different markers on the same line, and
they are labeled using the legend.

graph dot tenure, over(occ5) over(union)
missing
Consider this graph in which we use the
over()
option to show
tenure
broken
down by
occ5
and
union
. By including
the
missing
option, we then see the
category for those who are missing on
the
union
variable, shown as the third
group labeled with a dot. See
Dot : Cat axis
(202) for examples
showing how you could change the label
(.) to something more meaningful, e.g.,
“Missing”.
