When y-axis values are incorrectly derived

[Kim JongBin]

Hello,

I'm sorry to ask you a little thing. But I really don't know the solution

I'm using STATA version 15

I want to make a graph using STATA.

The variable is between 100,000 and 2 million.

But when I draw a graph using the code below, what comes out on the y-axis is from 0 to 20.

Can I know what the problem is?

Here I attach the code I used.

Please Help me

Thank you.

recast long v1 // year
encode v2, gen(v22)
encode v3, gen(v33)
encode v4, gen(v44)

drop v2 v3 v4



graph twoway (con v22 v1, lpattern(solid) lcolor(gs0) ///
        msymbol(O) mcolor(gs0)) ///
        (connected v33 v1, lpattern(solid) lcolor(gs0) ///
        msymbol(Oh) mcolor(gs0)) /// 
        (connected v44 v1, lpattern(shortdash) lcolor(gs0) ///
        msymbol(T) mcolor(gs0))

The values that you see are value labels, not values of the variables. If you have a string variable with numbers, use destring not encode. See
