twoway scatter ownhome borninstate, by(north,
title("By title")
)
title("Regular title")
This example should help you to
understand how these two types of
titles work. When the
title()
is used
overall, it applies to all graphs that are
created because it is repeated via the
by()
option. The
by(title())
is
applied after all smaller graphs are
created, providing an overall title for
the graph.

Stata treats the
caption()
option the
same way that it treats titles. Here, we
include an overall caption, which is
displayed with each graph.

When we include the

the
by()
option, it is displayed as a
caption for the full graph.
