    A question on two-way scatter/line plot

    Dear Statalist:

    I'm navigating a dataset by making a series of two-way plots across multiple years and I found something strange with the plots. Some groups have the year in the x-axis, while others don't.
    Some example codes that I used are...

    To examine how pay changed across years by agencies, I used the following code. Here, Only some agencies have years in the x-axis.
    Code:
    twoway (line avg_adjbasicpay year), by(agy)
    Graph.gph
    As another example, to examine how pay changed across years by type of work schedules, I used the following code. Again, only some categories have years in the x-axis.
    Code:
    twoway (scatter adjbasicpay year), by(worksch)
    Graph2.gph

    My data looks like this:
    . dataex agy year adjbasicpay worksch
