st: specifying position of -atrisk-markers in sts graph

[Michael McCulloch <mm@pinest.org>]

Is there a way to specify the position of the -atrisk- markers when 
using -sts graph-?
When specifying the -atrisk- option of -sts graph-, the markers are 
attractive and informative, as long as the survivor function plot 
lines don't overlap, as in:

	sysuse cancer.dta, clear
	stset studytime
	sts graph, by(drug) atrisk

However, when the plot lines do overlap, it's a confusing jumble, as in:

	replace studytime = studytime*2 if drug==1
	stset studytime
	sts graph, by(drug) atrisk

I'd like to be able to move the numbers so that they don't overlap. 
I've tried some of the marker label position options, such as:
	mlabpo()
	mlabvposition()
	mlabgap()
...but they have no effect on the position of the -atrisk- markers, 
no matter what I put within the parentheses.  Could anyone kindly 
suggest a solution?
