graph dot hours, over(occ7)
ytitle("Hours Worked" "Per Week")
Consider this graph showing the mean
hourly wage broken down by
occupation. We use the
ytitle()
option to add a title to the
Prof
Mgmt
-axis. We
place the title across two lines by using
two separate, quoted strings. See
Options : Axis titles
(254) and
[
G
]
axis title options
for more details,
but please disregard any references to
xtitle()
, since that option is not valid
when using
graph dot
.

Because the title is considered to be a
textbox, you can use textbox options as
illustrated here to control the look of
the title. See
Options : Textboxes
(303)
for additional examples of how to use
textbox options to control the display
of text.
