twoway scatter propval100 rent700, xlabel(0(5)40,
labsize(huge)
)
Here, we add the
labsize()
(label size)
option to increase the size of the labels
for the
-axis. Say that we were happy
with the original numbering (0 10 20 30
40) but wanted the labels to be huge.
How would we do that?

twoway scatter propval100 rent700, xlabel(,
labsize(huge)
)
The
xlabel()
option we use here
indicates that we are content with the
numbers chosen for the label of the
x
-axis because we have nothing before
the comma. After the comma, we add
the
labsize()
option to increase the
size of the labels for the
-axis.

Let's consider some examples using the
legend()
option to show that some options do
not require or permit the use of commas within them. Also, this allows us to show a case
where you might properly specify an option over and over again.
