st: What determines ytitle distance from graph
Date

When I change the ylabel angle to horizontal for a specific variable, the distance between the yaxis and the ytitle is quite large.
. sum lqrt
Variable | Obs Mean Std. Dev. Min Max
-------------+--------------------------------------------------------
lqrt | 106 -.538891 .2215944 -.8609112 -.1334978
. graph twoway scatter lqrt rla
NO PROBLEM
. graph twoway scatter lqrt rla, ylabel(, angle(horizontal))
DISTANCE OF LABEL lqrt FROM GRAPH IS LARGE
. graph twoway scatter rla lqrt, ylabel(, angle(horizontal))
Y X CHANGED: NO PROBLEM
. clear
. webuse auto
(1978 Automobile Data)
. graph twoway scatter price mpg, ylabel(, angle(horizontal))
NO PROBLEM
. gen price2 = price/1000
Y SCALED TO SEE IF THIS COULD BE THE REASON, BUT:
. graph twoway scatter price2 mpg, ylabel(, angle(horizontal))
NO PROBLEM
