msymbol(S)
Say that we want the symbols to be
displayed as squares. We can add
another option called
msymbol(S)
to
indicate that we want the marker
symbol to be displayed as a square (
S
for square). Adding one option at a
time is a common way to build a Stata
graph. In the next graph, we will
change gears and start building a new
graph to show other aspects of options.

twoway scatter propval100 rent700,
xlabel(0(5)40)
Here, we add the
xlabel()
option to
label the
x
-axis from 0 to 40,
incrementing by 5. But say that we
want the labels to be displayed larger.
