adding label in spmap

[Ivano Scandurra]

Hello,

My query is very simple, I would like to add label of a categorical variable in spmap

I am using STATA 15. The variable rc_norm_4_Cat has 4 categories already defined.

gen byte rc_norm_4_Cat=recode(rc_norm_4,1,2,3,4,.)


colorpalette w3 blue, n(4) nograph
local colors `r(p)'
spmap rc_norm_4_Cat using nuts2_shp, ///
id(_ID) ///
ocolor(black ..) fcolor("`colors'") osize(0.04 ..) ///
ndocolor(black ..) ndfcolor(gs10 ..) ndsize(0.04 ..) ndlabel("Missing") ///
legend(pos(11) size(*0.8)) legstyle(2)

The result is attached below.

I only would like to display labels in the legend. I would be very grateful for any advice.

You can use the -label()- option in legend. See: help legend_options

use "Italy-RegionsData.dta", clear

spmap relig1 using "Italy-RegionsCoordinates.dta", id(id)  /// 
    legend( label(5 "Group 1")  label( 4 "Group 2") /// 
    label(3 "Group 3") label(2 "Group 4") )
