You can combine global marker styles with more specific styles. There are also fifteen predefined marker styles that define combinations of colour, symbols and so on, see help markerstyle. A list of symbols available can be found via help symbolstyle. (with ms as an abbreviation for msymbol) will use small 'diamonds' instead of circles to display the data. There are many options specific to scatterplots. When overlaying twoway graphs, you will always have to start the command line either with graph twoway or at least with twoway.

Note that this version is a shortcut for the full command graph twoway scatter income tenure. This will plot income (y axis) against tenure (x axis). Note that the graph need not sorted by any of the variables that appear in the graph it may as well be sorted by some other variable. Will show the category with the lowest income on top of the graph and will proceed to the higher categories. Graph dot income, over(status, sort(income)) Note('Source: XY data, own calculations')Įven more than in the case of box plots, the real use of dot plots lies in comparing the values several groups, as in:Īgain, many options are available, among which one stands out in particular: It is, sort, which is a suboption to, over.

The final two entries are devoted to more complex graphs, where several elements are overlaid or where several graphs are combined in a singple plot.īox plots were already described in the 'univariate charts' entry, but actually they are mainly used to compare distributions of two or more groups, as in: Note the other entries in this section which contain important information about options for graphs. Many graph commands that fall into this category start with twoway, but some referring to graphs that also can be used for univariate display (such as box plots) don't, and in the case of some others (such as scatter plots), twoway may be omitted. This section introduces some elementary possibilities for displaying bivariate relationships.
