twoway scatter propval100 rent700,
title("This is a title for the graph")
Just as with any Stata command, the
title()
option comes after a comma,
and in this case, it contains a quoted
string that becomes the title of the
graph.

twoway scatter propval100 rent700,
title("This is a title for the graph",
box
)
Starting with Stata 8, options can have
options of their own. Let's put a box
around the title of the graph. We can
use
title(,
box
)
, placing
box
as an
option within
title()
. If the default
for the current scheme had included a
box, then we could have used the
nobox
option to suppress it.

twoway scatter propval100 rent700,
title("This is a title for the graph", box
size(small)
)
Let's take the last graph and modify
the title to make it small. We can add
another option to the
title()
option
by adding the
size(small)
option.
Here, we see that one of the options is a
keyword (
box
) and that another option
allows us to supply a value
(
size(small)
).
