Help with Stata's Graphs

[Victor Pacheco]

Hi

I'm trying to build a Graph on Stata but the variability of my Data is very high.
I need to build a Graph of Brazilian's Inflation from 1980 to 2012 but, in the middle of this period, we had very high values if we compare with the data average. My objective is, only in the graphic view, to limit the higher values to 100 (Eg.: where the inflation was 300, converter this value to 100 on this graph). Is possible to do It?

Thanks!

Did you think of using logarithmic scale?

Otherwise there is an FAQ on scale breaks on the Stata website that may help.
