(scatteri 42.6 62.1 "DC")
This graph uses the
scatteri
(scatter
immediate) command to plot and label
a point for Washington,
DC
. The values
42.6
and
62.1
are the values for
ownhome
and
propval100
for
Washington,
DC
, and are followed by
"DC"
, which acts as a marker label for
that point. If we had instead specified
(9) "DC"
, then “

” would have been
plotted at the 9 o'clock position.
