Get data from mark in a box plot graph

[Rodrigo Badilla]

Hi all,

I am trying to get data from a box plot graph with mark option, example:

clear all
set more off
sysuse auto.dta

graph box price, mark(1,mlab(price))

My goal its get mark values as variable (data or flaged) something like:

Mark	Flag
15906	1
14500	1
...	...

I tried using return list or ereturn list after graph but I could not get some data.

It possible get this?

Thanks in advance
Rodrigo
