twoway scatter propval100 faminc, xlabel(,
format(%8.0gc)
)
We can change the formatting of the
labels using the
format()
option, just
as we would using a
format
statement.
In this example, we format income
using a comma format to make the
larger numbers more readable.

twoway scatter propval100 faminc,
ylabel(, angle(0)
)
We can change the angles of the labels
from their default orientation. By
default, the values on the
100
-axis are
shown at a 90-degree angle, but we can
use the
ylabel(, angle(0))
to display
the labels without rotation.
