Re: st: Categorical axis labels with -graph dot- and -by-

[Scott Merryman <scott.merryman@gmail.com>]

You can use the graph editor to hide the axis labels on the third graph:

sysuse nlsw88, clear
graph dot wage, over(occ )  by(race, rows(2) holes(2))
gr_edit .plotregion1.grpaxis[3].draw_view.setstyle, style(no)
gr_edit .plotregion1.plotregion1[1].GraphEdit,
cmd(_set_graphstyle_remake supgroup_gap 20pct)
