twoway scatter propval100 faminc, ylabel(,
nogrid
)
We can use the
grid
and
nogrid
options to display or suppress the
display of grid lines corresponding to
the labels and ticks associated with the
ylabel()
,
ymlabel()
,
ytick()
,or
ymtick()
options (this also applies to
xlabel()
,
xmlabel()
,
xtick()
,or
xmtick()
). Say that we want to
suppress the grid on the
-axis. We can
do this with the
ylabel(,
nogrid)
option.

If we want a grid to be displayed for
the values that correspond to the
ylabel()
and the
xlabel()
options,
we can specify the

twoway scatter propval100 faminc,
ylabel(, grid
glwidth(vthin) glcolor(gs10) glpattern(shortdash)
)
You can control the grid line width,
grid line color, and grid line pattern
with the
glwidth()
,
glcolor()
,and
glpattern()
options. In this example,
we make the grid line very thin, the
color gray (
gs10
), and the pattern of
the lines short dashes. See
Styles : Linewidth
(337),
Styles : Colors
(328), and
Styles : Linepatterns
(336) for
additional details.
