Re: st: location of text/textbox in plot

[Jorge Eduardo Pérez Pérez <perez.jorge@ur.edu.co>]

This article describes how Stata chooses the x and y ranges:

Once you specify the -range- and -label- options of your graph, Stata
will not override your values (unless you are asking for too narrow
ranges according to your data and labels), and you can place your text
in the right place.

However, because Stata chooses the x and y ranges to be neat, there's no way for me to know exactly what the minimum x value & maximum y value are.  If I simply choose these values from my data, the text box is always closer to the center than I'd like.
