graph dot wage, over(occ7) over(south,
relabel(1 "N & W" 2 "South")
)
We can use the
relabel()
option to
change the labels displayed for the
levels of
south
, giving the
Prof
Mgmt
-axis more
meaningful labels. Note that we wrote
relabel(1 "N & W")
,not
relabel(0
"N & W")
, since these numbers do not
represent the actual levels of
south
but
the ordinal position of the levels, i.e.,
first and second.

ascategory
This
graph dot
command has multiple
y
-variables but uses the
ascategory
option to plot the different
mean of prev_exp
Prof/Mgmt
mean of tenure
-variables
as if they were categorical variables.
The dots for the different
y
mean of ttl_exp
mean of prev_exp
Sales
mean of tenure
-variables
are plotted on different lines using the
same symbol, and each line is labeled
on the
y
mean of ttl_exp
mean of prev_exp
Clerical
mean of tenure
mean of ttl_exp
mean of prev_exp
-axis rather than using a
legend. The default labels on the

Labor/Ops
mean of tenure
mean of ttl_exp
x
-axis
mean of prev_exp
are not bad, but we might want to
change them.

If we had an
over()
option, we could
use the
relabel()
option to change the
labels on the
Previous
Prof/Mgmt
Current
x
-axis. But since we have
Total
Previous
multiple
-variables that we have
treated as categories, we then use the
yvaroptions(relabel())
option to
modify the labels on the
