Just had a little exchange with Thomas Gschwend about the problem. Thereby we
set up the following Do-File which might further clarify my last posting.
So I send it along:
----------------------------------------trydo.do
clear
input x
1
2
3
4
end
gen y = x
fillin x y
gen n = int(uniform()*100)+1
expand n
graph y x, yline(1.5(1)3.5) xline(1.5(1)3.5) xlab(1(1)4) ylab(1(1)4) /*
*/ jitter(5) xscale(0.5,4.5) yscale(0.5,4.5) border
------------------------------------------------------
