ylabel()
is really an overall option,
but Stata is willing to pretend that you
specified this option globally, as though
you had typed
ylabel()
as a global
option as specified in this example. To
make this clearer, we have added the
default
axis(1)
to
ylabel()
to
illustrate why this usage does not
change the second
-axis.

twoway (scatter faminc educ)
(scatter workers2 educ, yaxis(2)),
ytitle("Family income", axis(1)) ytitle("Two+ workers", axis(2))
These same rules apply to modifying
the axis titles and labeling. In this
example, we use the
ytitle()
option
to change the titles for the first and
second
-axes.

Graphing by groups
This section provides more details about repeating graphs using the
by()
option to
show separate graphs for each by-group. For more information, see [
