Graphics Reference
In-Depth Information
Let's now use the
allstates
file and consider some examples in which we use the
by()
option to display multiple graphs broken down by the location of the state. We will look at
options for placing and aligning text in graphs that use the
by()
option. This next set of
graphs uses the
vg s2c
scheme.
scatter ownhome borninstate,
by(nsw, title("% own home" "by % born in state"))
Consider this graph in which we use the
by()
option to show this scatterplot
separately for states in the North,
South, and West.

scatter ownhome borninstate,

ring(0) position(5) box
))
Let's put the title in the open hole in
the right corner of the graph using the
ring(0)
and
position(5)
options. We
include the
box
option only to show the
outline of the textbox, not for
aesthetics.
