st: any simpler way to add text to a graph

Hi,
I created a simple graph that merely plots the means for a variable
where the means are based on a categorical variable. I created the
means using collapse:
collapse ocs, by(project)
I then added a variable to this data set as
gen x = 0.5
and created the graph I want as
scatter ocs x, xline(0.5)
I want to add a label next to each point, the label naming the project.
I first added, as an example, text(0.49 0.45 "Project 1", place(w)) to
the scatter command. That worked. But I have 10 projects. I would
have to add 10 such text commands. This is very inefficient. Is there
a better way?
Also, is there a way to NOT display tick marks on the x-axis since
they're meaningless here?
Thanks for any help,
Walt
