With the -tmap- package from SSC it is possible to create maps in
Stata. The help file and user's guide show how labels can be added to
a map, with the example of a map of the United States. To add labels
it is necessary to specify the x and y coordinates where the labels
should be placed. The example database us-database.dta contains the
variables x_coord and y_coord that identify the center of each state.
Assume that these variables are not present in a database. How could
I identify the center of each region where I want the labels to be
placed?
Thank you,
Friedrich Huebler
