graph region, as well as the lines that border these regions.

scatter propval100 ownhome, title("My title")
Consider this scatterplot. In general,
Stata sees this graph as having two
overall regions. The area inside the
My title
x
-
and
-axes where the data are plotted
is called the
plot region
. In this graph,
the plot region is white. The area
surrounding the plot region, where the
axes and titles are placed, is called the
graph region
. In this graph, the graph
region is shaded light blue.
