See: Nicholas J. G. Winte (2005) "Stata tip 23: Regaining control 
over axis ranges". The Stata Journal, 5(3): 467--468.

And the example below:

*------------ begin example -------------
clear
input x    year
142.3704    1997
140.2368    1998
165.6991    1999
225.0937    2000
243.2682    2001
295.1701    2002
412.7598    2003
560.8112    2004
660.2197    2005
791.7939    2006
956.2615    2007
end

scatter x year, xlab(1997(2)2007) 
*------------ end example ---------------
