twoway scatter (borninstate propval100 ownhome),
by(nsw,
legend(pos(12))
)
legend(label(1 "Born in state") label(2 "% > 100K"))
Here, we use both of the options from
the previous two graphs, and the
legend()
option is used twice: inside
the
by()
option to modify the position
and outside the
by()
option to modify
its contents. The use of
legend()
with
the
by()
option is covered more
thoroughly in
Options : Legend
(287).

twoway scatter ownhome borninstate,

title("% own home" "by % born in state")
)

We can use the
title()
option on its
own to make a title that is displayed
with each graph, and the
title()
option within the
by()
option to make
an overall title.
