Restricting Scatter Plot to a specific time frame in Stata

[Stan Leakup]

I have data for elections from 1880 to 2008, and I would like to create a scatter of Vote against Growth, but just for the years from 1916 to 2008. How do I create a scatter plot with this time frame restriction? Is my code still going to be: scatter vote growth
Also, if the time frame was changed from 1916 to 2004, what is my new code going to be? Thank you

I don't know how time is specified in your dataset, but if you just have a variable YEAR that has the year date (not a Stata date variable):

scatter vote growth if YEAR>=1880 & YEAR<=2008
scatter vote growth if YEAR>=1916 & YEAR<=2004

A cleaner version of what Carole J. Wilson suggested would be:

tw scatter vote growth if inrange(year, 1880, 2008)
tw scatter vote growth if inrange(year, 1916, 2004)

It requires a few less keystrokes and can make the intention clearer (particularly if you need/want to include other conditions for the command).
