Re: st: Linear regression, correlation coefficient and Stat 8 Graphs

I do not know whether it is a good idea to add r-sq to title, but it can 
be done as:

sysuse auto
reg mpg price
local a = int(e(r2)*100)/100
twoway (scatter mpg price) (lfit mpg price), title(" title blah-blah, 
r-sq =0`a'")

best,
sasha
