Nick's proposal can be modified to avoid having to specify the precise
coordinates of the line, an issue addressed by Dave earlier in this
thread. I assume that the line always start at the origin.
. sysuse auto
. sum weight, meanonly
. local max = r(max)
. sum price, meanonly
. if r(max) > `max' {
local max = r(max)
}
. scatter weight price || scatteri 0 0 `max' `max', recast(line) name(a)
. scatter price weight || scatteri 0 0 `max' `max', recast(line) name(b)
