Re: Re: st: labelling specific values on a graph

Thanks, Phil. Interesting idea. Unfortunately, the graph now shows the "."
for the missing values as well. Any suggestions on how to present only the
numeric values?

*** code***
gen points = .
replace points = sampsize if inlist( popsize, 100, 1000, 10000, 50000)

*** end code***

A couple options here, but perhaps the simplest is just to generate a new
variable containing only those labels you want to expose (with the others
all set to missing), and pass that to -mlab()-.

Hi All,

Is there a way to get labels for specific values on a graph (any graph) as
opposed to all or nothing using mlabel(var)?

I would like to highlight a few data points, rather than provide labels to
all of them.

Thanks!

Ariel
