showval option for tabplot command

[Stephen Okiya]

Hi,
I ma using the tabplot command with the showval option. Is there a way one can control the size of the values being displayed? In other words, something similar to labsize and size suboptions for titles.
Thanks in advance.

tabplot is from the Stata Journal as you are asked to explain (FAQ Advice #12 enjoins explanation of user-written programs you mention.)

Yes. As documented you can use marker label options for this.

. sysuse auto
(1978 Automobile Data)

. tabplot foreign rep78, showval

. tabplot foreign rep78, showval(mlabsize(*3)) text(1.5 3 "ridiculous example!")

. tabplot foreign rep78, showval(mlabsize(large))

. tabplot foreign rep78, showval(mlabsize(medlarge))

You may have to lengthen one or even both axes with extreme choices.
