(lfit ownhome borninstate if stateab !="DC",
text(45 70 "Coef with DC .16" "Coef without DC .44", box))
Consider this graph, which uses the
text()
option to place an annotation
in the middle of the plot region. The
text might look better if we increased
the margin around the text.

margin(medium)
))
We can expand the margin between the
text and the box with the
margin()
option. Note the difference between this
and the
bmargin()
option (illustrated
previously), which increased the margin
around the outside of the box.

As with the
bmargin()
option, we can
more precisely modify the margin
around the text. Here, we use the
margin()
option to make the size of the
margin 5, 5, 2, and 2 for the left, right,
top, and bottom, respectively.
