Question on Nick Cox's aaplot

[Euslaner]

Sorry for this post, but I have spent over an hour with the data and with the manual but I have a problem with the attached graph. All is fine except that I cannot find a way to make the country labels smaller. The code I am using with the attached data set is:

aaplot rightwing2003 importantantreligiondum2003,mlabel(contab)

I have tried to attach "textsize" "size" or "msize" and "textsizestyle" but it keeps rejecting these. Please just a bit of help to get the country codes smaller. Thanks for any help.

aaplot is from SSC (FAQ Advice #12). The option for changing the marker label size is -mlabsize()-.

[Nick Cox]

Andrew Musau is naturally correct. This is standard twoway scatter stuff and nothing to do with aaplot as such. If you add marker labels, that is fine, and the appropriate options are marker label options.
