Re: st: how to show date on a graph title by citing the date local

[Jorge Eduardo Pérez Pérez <perez.jorge@ur.edu.co>]

You need to store the date in the local with the proper format:

sysuse auto, clear
local date: di %td 15610
scatter price mpg, title(`date')

Or you can define the date local "on the go"

sysuse auto, clear
scatter price mpg, title(`: di %td 15610')

Hope this helps
