I'm trying to add a text box to a graph that has 2 y axes with different
scales. I can add the text to a single graph, and I can add the text to a
graph with 2 y variables if they are on the same axis, but when I add a
second y axis I get a mystifying error message. I've replicated the
problem below using the auto.dta dataset; commands and log are below. Am
I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Brian
