Dear Stata users,

I would like to display a scatter plot in which (1) the markers are
labeled with observation identifiers and (2) the size of each marker is
scaled according to its weight in a weighted least squares regression.

I can display the plot with either option alone, but for some reason,
when I try to use both simultaneously, the marker labels are displayed
properly, but the markers are no longer scaled.

Here's a simple program that illustrates the problem, using the Stata
user manual auto dataset:

clear all
use http://www.stata-press.com/data/r8/auto.dta
collapse (mean) price mpg (count) rep78, by(foreign)
describe
scatter price mpg [w=rep78], mlabel(foreign) 
scatter price mpg [w=rep78],  msymbol(Oh) 
scatter price mpg [w=rep78],  msymbol(Oh) mlabel(foreign) 


Any suggestions?    Thanks a lot!



Regards,


Steve Lin
