This makes it difficult when I graph it to see what other patterns are going on since everything else looks like a straight line. Is there an easy way to zoom into the graph to only show say y-values lower than 2,000? Using a log scale as proposed by Tashi is good advise. Alternatively, you can just cut-off the axis by using the if condition: *---------- begin example ---------- sysuse auto // entire graph scatter price mpg // cut off price at 10,000 dollar scatter price mpg if price < 1e4 // ( I don't want type all the // zeros and (mis)count them, // so I use 1e4 which means a // 1 with 4 zeros ) *------------ end example ----------- (For more on examples I sent to the Statalist see: http://www.maartenbuis.nl/example_faq ) Hope this helps, Maarten -------------------------- Maarten L.
