What you want is _not_ straightforward. I know no easy and also
general way of omitting a data point from a Stata graph and also
having it exert some offstage influence on the remainder of the graph.
In my experience, when people think they want something like
this using a logarithmic scale for the variable concerned is usually the
best way forward.
