twoway scatter ownhome borninstate,
by(north, total) subtitle(,
pos(5) ring(0) nobexpand
)
We can place the name of the by-group
in the bottom right corner of each
graph using the
subtitle()
option.
The options
pos(5)
and
ring(0)
move
the subtitle to the 5 o'clock position
and inside the plot region. The
nobexpand
(no box expand) option
prevents the by-group name from
expanding to consume the entire plot
region.

))
We can also use the
ring()
and
pos()
options with
title()
,
note()
,and
caption()
to alter their placement.
Here, we use
position(5)
to put the
title in the bottom right corner and
ring(0)
to locate it inside the plot
region.

Graphs by Region North or Not
twoway scatter ownhome borninstate,
by(north, total title("My title",
position(5)
))
The previous graph is repeated with
the
position(5)
option but not the
ring(0)
option to illustrate the impact
of
ring(0)
. Without
ring(0)
, the title
is placed outside the plot region.
