twoway scatter ownhome propval100,
ytitle("Percent who own home",
size(huge)
)
Here, we use the
size(huge)
option to
make the title on the
y

twoway scatter ownhome propval100,
xlabel(0(10)100) ylabel(40(5)80)
We use the
ylabel()
and
xlabel()
options to control the labeling of the
x
-
and
-axis from 0
to 100, incrementing by 10, and the
y
y
-axes. We label the
x
-axis from 40 to 80, incrementing by 5.
See
Options : Axis labels
(256) for more
details on labeling axes.

twoway scatter ownhome propval100,
xlabel(#10) ylabel(#5)
In this example, we use the
xlabel(#10)
option to ask Stata to use
approximately 10 nice labels and the
ylabel(#5)
option to use
approximately 5 nice labels. In this
case, our gentle request was observed
exactly, but in some cases, Stata will
choose somewhat different values to
create axis labels it believes are logical.
