Re: st: modify axis range in scatter graphs

[Michael Norman Mitchell <Michael.Norman.Mitchell@gmail.com>]

Greetings

  You can use the -xlabel()- option as shown below to get the x axis to 
display as values 1997 to 2007 incrementing by 1's.

scatter X year, c(l) xlabel(1997(1)2007)

Best regards,
