)
Because an axis title is considered a
textbox, you can use textbox options,
as illustrated here, to control the look
of the axis title. Here, we add the
size()
and
box
options to
xtitle()
to
make the
-axis title small with a box
around it. See
Options : Textboxes
(303)
for additional examples of how to use
textbox options to control the display
of text.

Percent of homes that cost over $100,000
twoway scatter ownhome propval100,
ytitle(
"Percent of households" "that own their homes"
)
xtitle(
"Percent of homes" "that cost over $100,000"
)
In this example, we supply the same
titles but divide them into two separate
quoted strings, which then are
displayed on separate lines.
