one of the commands I used was:
metan a b c d, label(namevar=Author) by(HQ) random rr xlabel(0,1,5)
force
with this error:
invalid label specifier, : 0 "1" . "0" 0 "1" 1.6094379124341 "5":
or
metan a b c d, label(namevar=Author) by(HQ) random rr xlabel(0,1,5)
invalid label specifier, : 0 "1" . "0" 0 "1" 1.6094379124341 "5":
is that of any help?
