Is it possible to add different text to the individual plots in a
by() graph? In a response to a question by Joseph Wagner I posted
these commands two days ago:
. sysuse auto
. count if mpg<. & weight<. & foreign==1
. local for = string(r(N), "%2.0f")
. count if mpg<. & weight<. & foreign==0
. local dom = string(r(N), "%2.0f")
. scatter mpg weight, by(foreign) text(40 1000 "N = `for'") text(40
4000 "N = `dom'")
"N = 52" indicates the number of domestic cars and "N = 22" the
number of foreign cars. The text should appear in the appropriate
plots but with the -scatter- command above each of the sample sizes
is shown twice in the graph. I could not find a solution in the Stata
graphics manual. Options -xaxis()- and -yaxis()-, which looked
promising, apparently do not apply to -by()- graphs.
. scatter mpg weight, by(foreign) text(40 1000 "N = `for'", xaxis(2))
text(40 4000 "N = `dom'", xaxis(1))
text() option invalid, specified axis pair (1 2) not in graph
invalid syntax
invalid syntax
invalid syntax
r(198);
Thank you for your help.
