twoway (scatter ownhome urban) (qfit ownhome urban),
by(nsw)
legend(position(12) label(2 "Quadratic Fit"))
Here, we add a
legend()
option, but
the
position()
option does not seem
to have any effect since it does not
move the position of the legend.

twoway (scatter ownhome urban) (qfit ownhome urban),
by(nsw,
legend(position(12))
) legend(label(2 "Quadratic Fit"))
The graph command from the last
example did not change the position of
the legend because options for
positioning the legend must be placed
within the
by()
option. Here, we place
the
legend(position())
option within
the
by()
option, and the legend is now
placed above the graph.

Likewise, if we wish to turn the legend
off, we must place

within
the

option.
