Here's a feature - someone may have a use for it. (Found in Stata 10
but a consequence of the documented command.)
A scatterplot drawn with equal axes - aspect(1) - looked fine until I
added a title, which caused the Y axis to be pushed left away from the
plot area. The solution was to add "span" as a sub-option. The reason
is that the title is written outside the plot region but left-justified
to align with its border. With the aspect fixed, pushing the border out
made a gap.
