You were unclear in the sense that you haven't yet given either a clear description of your variables or any details on what commands you typed.
But it sounds to me as if Stata is showing time information only for data that span more than two days. That may be because of the -format- you assigned.
Please -describe- and -summarize- the relevant variables and show us the results.

Maybe I was unclear in my description of the graph, but i dont think it is a scale or label question. The problem is that given the coordinates (00:00, 2.3) (05:36,1.9) (07:20,3.1) (18:58,2.9) they are not graphed in that order; Instead I have (07:20,3.1) (18:58,2.9) (00:00, 2.3) (05:36,1.9) ...
