Thanks, Phil. Interesting idea. Unfortunately, the graph now shows the "." for the missing values as well. Any suggestions on how to present only the numeric values?

A couple options here, but perhaps the simplest is just to generate a new variable containing only those labels you want to expose (with the others all set to missing), and pass that to -mlab()-. - -- Phil Date: Wed, 11 Dec 2013 21:32:21 -0500 From: "Ariel Linden" <ariel.linden@gmail.com> Subject: st: labelling specific values on a graph Hi All, Is there a way to get labels for specific values on a graph (any graph) as opposed to all or nothing using mlabel(var)? I would like to highlight a few data points, rather than provide labels to all of them. Thanks!
