Not so. -stack- shows as many data points as observations, tied or
not, so long as you have enough space to show them.
As the help says
"stack specifies that data points with identical values are to be stacked,
as in -dotplot-, except that by default there is no binning of data."
Look at
. sysuse auto
(1978 Automobile Data)
. stripplot mpg, stack
. stripplot mpg, stack over(foreign)

Dotplot automatically gives three horizontal points when multiples. I would like to have three vertical dots to show that I got three multiple observations. As far I understand will width and stack only compress to one observation and not extend to three observations or I understand things incorrectly?

My dotplot shows years on y-axes. I want to have that on x-axis, i.e. I want to transpose my dotplot. Is it possible to do that or can I generate a different stata graph so that I get my dotplots horizontally instead of vertically?
