st: any simpler way to add text to a graph

["Data Analytics Corp." <walt@dataanalyticscorp.com>]

Hi,

I created a simple graph that merely plots the means for a variable 
where the means are based on a categorical variable.  I created the 
means using collapse:

    collapse ocs, by(project)

I then added a variable to this data set as

    gen x = 0.5

and created the graph I want as

    scatter ocs x, xline(0.5)

I want to add a label next to each point, the label naming the project.  
I first added, as an example, text(0.49 0.45 "Project 1", place(w)) to 
the scatter command.  That worked.  But I have 10 projects.  I would 
have to add 10 such text commands.  This is very inefficient.  Is there 
a better way?

Also, is there a way to NOT display tick marks on the x-axis since 
they're meaningless here?

Thanks for any help,

Walt
