Further information:
When I replace lqrt by abs(lqrt), the problem disappears and I do not need to yscale.

Thanks.
graph twoway scatter lqrt rla, ylabel(, angle(horizontal)) yscale(titlegap(*-30)) gave something reasonable. It required some experimentation.

You can tune using -ysc(, titlegap())- (or -xsc()- as the case may be).
