graph dot prev exp tenure ttl exp, over(occ7)
legend(position(12) rows(1))
We can put the legend at the top of the
graph with the
legend(position(12))
option. The values you supply for
position()
are similar to the numbers
on a clock face, where 12 o'clock is the
top, 6 o'clock is the bottom, and 0
represents the center of the clock face;
see
Styles : Clockpos
(330) for more
details. We also add the
rows(1)
option to make the legend display as
one row.

Controlling the y-axis
This section describes options to customize the
y
-axis with dot plots. To be precise,
when Stata refers to the
-axis on a dot plot, it refers to the axis with the continuous vari-
able, which is placed on the bottom (where the
y
-axis would traditionally be placed). This
section emphasizes the features that are particularly relevant to dot plots. For more details,
see
Options : Axis titles
(254),
Options : Axis labels
(256), and
Options : Axis scales
(265). Also,
see [

,[

examples use the
vg teal
scheme.
