Given these data, I suspect that you might
find
dotplot y1 y2
more informative than a scatterplot.
But in general you would also possibly be better off
with a different data structure. Here is one way
to do it in Stata 7:
preserve (if desired)
gen id = _n
reshape long x y, i(id)
separate y, by(_j)
label var y1 "y1"
label var y2 "y2"
su y1, meanonly
local m1 = r(mean)
su y2, meanonly
local m2 = r(mean)
graph y1 y2 x, yli(`m1' `m2')
restore (if desired)
OR
(apart from the means) see -muxyplot- on SSC.
