Re: st: Scatter plot help.

Richard,

I believe what you want is:

twoway scatter Home Auto if Married == 1 [w = Income], mcolor(red) || scatter Home Auto if Married == 2 [w = Income], mcolor(green)

For finer details, I suggest the Stata command "help twoway scatter" (for the nitty gritty) and "A Visual Guide To Stata Graphics" (for just about everything Stata graph-y).
