Date lable of twoway graph

[Lea Reifenroether]

Hi together,



i use stata 16.0 and have a panel data set including banks (unique identifier is the variabel "SNLInsititutionKey") about the 48 continguous United States across quarterly date from 200q1-2019q4 and temperature anomalies (in Fahrenheit desgrees).

I want run a twoway scatter and lfit for anomalies across the time. By that i only want to show the anomlies from quarter 3 across times. My problem is now how to edit the labels of the x-axis so that the ticks and the lables only showing the quarter 3 of the respective year, i.e. 2000q3, 2001q3, ..., 2019q3? Attached you can see that when the labels of the x-axis show the years with quarter 1 instead of the years with quarter 3.
