Remove extra space after using aspectratio with a graph command

[Jane Skinner]

Hi

I am using the aspectratio syntax with a graph.

An example by Nick Cox in his article on the subject demonstrates the problem that I am having:

use http://www.stata-press.com/data/r8/htourism.dta
tsline mvdays, aspect(0.15) yla(, ang(h))

How do you remove the excess space above and below the plot? I would like the whole graph area to have roughly the aspect ratio specfied.


With best wishes and thanks,

Jane

There is a -margin()- suboption within -graphregion()-, but this needs specification of -ysize()- and -xsize()-.

use http://www.stata-press.com/data/r8/htourism.dta
tsline mvdays, aspect(.15) xsize(100) ysize(15) yla(, ang(h)) graphregion(margin(0 0 0 0))

Thank you, Andrew! That's very helpful. For a little less typing, you can have graphregion(margin(zero)). You get slightly different results if you include aspectratio as well as the xsize and ysize or not.
