Ren� wants the x- and y-axes to cross at "origo". That is a
reasonable wish in many situations.
To include 0,0 in the axes:
. twoway scatter mpg weight , xlabel(0(1000)5000) ylabel(0(10)40)
Now 0,0 is included, but you might want axes to cross
exactly at 0,0. Use the plotregion(margin()) option:
. twoway scatter mpg weight , xlabel(0(1000)5000) ylabel(0(10)40) plotregion(margin(l=0 b=0))
Also, the xscale(range()) option may be useful to you.
Hope this helps,
Svend
