Martin gives good advice here. However, the relationship between -tsgraph- and -tsline- is not so much that the latter is a more up-to-date version of the former. I've no evidence that StataCorp in writing -tsline- were consciously imitating or updating -tsgraph-. Rather, -tsgraph- is an old user-written program that has never been updated given the essentially overlapping aims of -tsline- and -xtline-.

-tsgraph- sounds like you are using an old -version- of Stata? Note you are meant to disclose this from the FAQ. See http://www.stata-journal.com/article.html?article=st0080 , section 2.4., for more info (though I cannot access the archives today for some reason...)
The modern implementation is -tsline- which is a -twoway- and can thus be given a second axis...

I have three variables y1var y2var and y3var that I want to plot against time (in years). y3var has a very different scale than y1var or y2var so I was thinking if plotting it on a second y axis on the right with y1var and y2var on the left y axis. Is there a way of doing this using tsgraph?
