1.  The option -mlabel()- can accept a varlist.
2.  Change the rule used for the axis label or with -tlabel()- you can
specify the date range.


For example:

sysuse tsline2,clear

twoway connected  lcalories calories day in 1/11, ///
   tlabel(01jan2002(2)11jan2002, angle(45)) mlabel(lcalories calories)

twoway connected  lcalories calories day in 1/11, ///
   tlabel(#10, angle(45)) mlabel(lcalories calories)
