twoway scatter ownhome borninstate,
msymbol(X)
We can also specify
msymbol(X)
to use
a large X shape for the markers. We
could also use a lowercase
x
for smaller
markers. We cannot append an
h
since
we cannot make a hollow X.

twoway scatter ownhome borninstate,
msymbol(+)
Specifying
msymbol(+)
yields a plus
sign shape for the markers. As with the
X
, we cannot make these hollow, nor is
there a symbol for a smaller version of
plus signs.

twoway scatter heatdd cooldd,
msymbol(p)
Here, we switch to the
citytemp
data
file to illustrate the use of the
msymbol(p)
option to plot very small
points. Although each point is hard to
see because they are so small, we can
see the overall pattern of the data
because of the large number of points
and the strong trend in the data. See
Styles : Symbols
(342) for more
information about symbols.
