Just like you can split a title in a graph by
giving the graph option two string (like
title("very long" "title")) you can do the
same with the labels on the axis. The only
difference is that you now need to tell
Stata which strings belong together by
surrounding them with compound quotes
(`" and "'). See the example below:
*-------------- begin example -----------
sysuse auto, clear
collapse (mean) mpg, by(rep78)
twoway bar mpg rep78, /*
*/ xlab(1 `""very" "long" "string""' /*
*/ 2 `""foo" "bar""' /*
*/ 3 "bla" /*
*/ 4 "etc" /*
*/ 5 `""etc" "etc""')
*------------ end example ---------------
(For more on how to use examples I sent to the Statalist, see
http://home.fsw.vu.nl/m.buis/stata/exampleFAQ.html )
Hope this helps,
