I want another axis on my box plot

o Question from Nick Cox on Statalist

o One outlier among outside values that he wanted to identify

o Original problem graph

. sysuse census , clear

. graph hbox medage, over(region, total)

o Identify all outliers using standard options

. graph hbox medage, over(region, total) marker(1, mlabel(state) mlabpos(11))

o Nick's solution:

- make room above the graph by specifying an empty subtitle

- use text() option to place text outside the plotregion

. list state medage if medage > 34

. graph hbox medage, over(region, total) subtitle(" ") text( 34.7 109 "Florida")
