yes, exactly! Thank you!
I see now that I can do that with the graph editor in "grid edit" mode,
then look at the commands generated in the .grec file.

Hi,
I'm trying to make a single graph that combines three data series, which are
themselves on three different scales. I can get everything I want, except
for labeling the y-axes for plots 2 and 3.
The following demonstrates the problem: I want the volume labels (0 and
10,000) and the closing price change (-50, 0, and 50) to be on top of each
other, rather than having the latter on a separate axis to the right of the
former.
* begin example
sysuse sp500
gr twoway connected high date, yaxis(1) ///
ysca(ra(500) axis(1)) ///
|| bar volume date, yaxis(2) ///
ysca(alt ra(200000) axis(2)) ///
ylab(0 10000, angle(horiz) grid labsize(small) axis(2)) ///
|| bar change date, yaxis(3) ///
ysca(alt ra(-250 600) axis(3)) ///
ylab(-50 0 50, angle(horiz) labsize(small) axis(3)) ///
legend(off)
* end example
Am I missing something obvious?
I messed with creating the three plots separately and using -graph combine-
to put them together in a single column, but the different widths of the y
labels across the plots means that the x-axes don't line up with each other,
even with the -xcommon- option.
Something like:
* begin second example
gr twoway connected high date, xsca(off) ///
graphregion(margin(b 0)) name(one, replace)
gr twoway bar volume date, ysca(alt) xsca(off) ///
ylab(0 10000, angle(horiz) grid labsize(small)) ///
graphregion(margin(t 0 b 0)) ///
name(two, replace)
gr twoway bar change date, ysca(alt) ///
ylab(-50 0 50, angle(horiz) labsize(small)) ///
graphregion(margin(t 0)) ///
name(three, replace)
gr combine one two three, col(1) xcommon
* end second example
Any thoughts?
