You are not giving the Stata command you typed or telling us much about your data. 

There must be a reason why you get a lot of white space. Most obviously one or more outlier(s) need to be accommodated. As already emphasised in this thread, whatever you do to -ysc()- or -yla()- will not cause data to be omitted.

Thank you for the replies, this is indeed what I asked but there is still alot of ''white'' in the graph.
I want to present the (small) increase in leverageratio, but with these commands it still looks like a very mild upward slope.
 
So my question is: How can I magnify these very small changes into the graph?
