Re: st: number format in graph labels

[Martin Weiss <martin.weiss@uni-tuebingen.de>]

Well, any criticism connected with the labels would indirectly be  
aimed at overall -format-ing in Stata.  If you

*********
sysuse auto, clear
replace price=10000*price
twoway (scatter headroom price), xlabel(, format(%15.2fc))
*********

there are no exponents in the resulting graph. I do not think that  
gaps instead of commas to seperate thousands are possible with -format-.
