-labmask- is from SJ. You are asked to say where it comes from.
You can't attach value labels to non-integers.
There are at least three work-arounds:
1.
gen xaxis2 = round(10* xaxis)
and plot in terms of -xaxis2-.
2.
Use -mylabels- (SSC) to generate the argument for an -xlabel()- option.
. mylabels 11 14 19 21, myscale(@/10) local(stuff)
1.1 "11" 1.4 "14" 1.9 "19" 2.1 "21"
3. Type in the bottom line above directly.
