I have some weird behavior in a simple scatter plot. The choice of
axis range takes on the range of the data if one looked at each
variable one at a time, but not the range of the plotted data. For
example,
. d ln_rna hrsd17
storage display value
variable name type format label variable label
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------
ln_rna float %9.0g
hrsd17 byte %8.0g
. scatter ln_rna hrsd17 // <-- gives a bad graph with lots of white
space around the cloud
// y range 2 to -2, x range 10 to 35
// from below it should have reflected the common range
. summ ln_rna hrsd17
Variable | Obs Mean Std. Dev. Min Max
-------------+--------------------------------------------------------
ln_rna | 69 .5711169 .6988654 -1.479932 2.003551
hrsd17 | 107 22.31776 3.664202 11 33
. summ ln_rna hrsd17 if ln_rna < . & hrsd17 < .
Variable | Obs Mean Std. Dev. Min Max
-------------+--------------------------------------------------------
ln_rna | 32 .569358 .7230897 -.6635817 2.003551
hrsd17 | 32 23 3.360108 16 31
// a simple example of the problem:
input y x
1 .
20 50
30 40
40 30
50 20
. 1
end
scatter y x
// gives the range of the scatter plot as 0-50 on both axes--this
looks stupid--can we fix this?
// also can we fix copying a graph to the clipboard that is > 72 dpi
on the Mac? Still copies with a distorted
// x axis if the x axis > 72 dpi
