Subject | Re: st: How to show variable label in a graph title |

We can't explain what you did wrong without sight of code. As the variable here is -percent-, you could just go title("`: var label percent'") but if local macro 1 contains the variable name, this should work too: title("`: var label `1''") Some minor tricks of the trade can be seen by looking inside -aaplot- (SSC) and -multqplot- (SJ).
