Re: st: AW: axis title options

[Miranda Kim <mk@mrc.soton.ac.uk>]

Thank you Martin and Nick for your responses,

I tried using the orientation sub-option but when producing graphs with 
a by- option it didn't seem to register and kept it the default (vertical)
For example:
twoway (scatter weight price), by(foreign) ytitle("hello", 
orientation(horizontal))
I am unsure where to put the text or subtitle option so it doesn't put 
it in both graphs, as for example:
twoway (scatter weight price), by(foreign) text(5050 5050 "hello")
