Dot graph does not re-scale y axis

[Valdemar Diaz]

I'm using this code to "cut" the Y-axis range of a dot graph. But it does not work, and I can not figure out why. I'll appreciate any advice. - Thanks.

sysuse auto, clear
graph dot (median) mpg (mean) mpg, ///
    xalternate over(foreign, label(labsize(medsmall))) ///
    ytitle(Average MPG) ysc(r(15(5)30)) yla(15(5)30) ///
    linetype(line) lines(lcolor(teal) lwidth(thin) lpattern(dash)) ///
    legend(label(1 Median) label(2 Mean))

You need an extra option

exclude0 do not force y axis to include 0

Thank you, Nick. exclude0 is a useful alternative. At least, one that I like. However, the final users do not like it. -
