axis ticks as functions of actual values

[John Kim]

Dear all,

Hi, I'm plotting y vs. x. Can I use axis ticks that are functions of x? So, if we plot y vs. x and the x-axis ticks are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, can I force display 1, 4, 9, 16, 25 (so ticks are x^2)? I'd much appreciate any and all help. Thank you.

Best,


John

Yes. See http://www.stata-journal.com/sjpdf.h...iclenum=gr0032 and mylabels (SSC).

Discussed on this forum just last week http://www.statalist.org/forums/foru...updated-on-ssc as a response to a thread you started yourself!
