Thanks, Nick. I must say Michael's Guide, Svend's Introduction, and your
columns help.
But to say that "Stata's been consistent on that since the late 1980s,"
is like saying all you need to learn English is read the OED, since it
is quite consistent in describing English words since 1879. :-)

Subject: RE: st: Can we change tick level for Y-axis?
This is explained and documented under -axis label options-.
In the manual, see the section [G] axis_label_options; on-line
see
whelp axis_label_options
or
whelp axis label options
in an -update-d Stata.
One key is know where to look is to realise that tick options
are options like -xtick()- and -ytick()- but labelled tick options
are options like -xlabel()- and -ylabel()-. Stata's been consistent
on that since the late 1980s.
