How to get all labels in bold?

[Tiago Pereira]

Dear all,

I would like to have all labels in bold. Example:

sysuse auto, clear
gene n = _n
scatter n length ,  msymbol(i) mlabel(make) mlabposition(3) mlabgap(2) mlabsize(tiny) mlabcolor(black)

Is there a way to get all labels "bolded"?

All the best,

Tiago

Not directly, but you can create a separate variable for this

gen bfmake = "{bf:" + make + "}"
scatter n length ,  msymbol(i) mlabel(bfmake) mlabposition(3) mlabgap(2) mlabsize(tiny) mlabcolor(black)
