twoway scatter propval100 faminc,
ymtick(10(20)90)
We can use the
ymtick()
option to add
minor ticks to the graph. For example,
here we add minor ticks at 10, 30, 50,
70, and 90. The
m
in
ymtick()
stands
for minor.

twoway scatter propval100 faminc,
ymtick(##10)
The default graph had major labels for
the
-axis at 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100.
We can place 9 minor ticks between
major ticks with the
ymtick(##10)
option. Note that the value of 10
includes the 9 minor ticks plus the 10th
major tick.

twoway scatter propval100 faminc, ylabel(0(10)100,
noticks
)
If we wanted to label the
y
-axis using
values ranging from 0 to 100,
incrementing by 10 but suppressing the
display of ticks, we could use the
noticks
option.
