st: Graph options

[Michael Costello <michaelavcostello@gmail.com>]

I'm working on a connected scatter plot of several outcomes over time.
The outcomes are on a 0-1 scale. I'd like to label each point in the
connected scatter plot with the exact y value. Can anyone advise on
how to do that? I see how to label values with another variable, such
as country name, but not with the actual y-values. I seem to have
complicated it by having several outcomes all on one graph.

Additionally, my x-scale is from about September 2013 to the present,
in the %tcnn/dd/YY format. It currently only displays three tick marks
(dates) across the bottom of the graph. Is there an easier way to
increase this number of ticks other than using an option like:

xlabel(1685285043000(1000000000)1704474480000,angle(45))

I hate that format, and it's not intuitive at all.
