end

and the following code:

twoway (connected tw_eshare year, mcolor(navy) msize(vsmall) msymbol(circle) lcolor(navy) lpattern(solid)) (connected sk_eshare year, mcolor(midgreen) msize(vsmall) msymbol(square) lcolor(midgreen) lpattern(dash)) (connected jp_eshare year, mcolor(purple) msize(vsmall) msymbol(triangle) lcolor(purple) lpattern(longdash)) (connected hk_eshare year, mcolor(maroon) msize(vsmall) msymbol(diamond) lcolor(maroon) lpattern(dash_dot)) (connected us_eshare year, mcolor(orange_red) msize(small) msymbol(lgx) lcolor(orange_red) lpattern(shortdash_dot)) (connected ch_eshare year, mcolor(red) msize(small) msymbol(plus) lcolor(red) lpattern(longdash_shortdash)), legend(off)

My chart does not look the best right now, but I'm trying to get there. I would like to know how I can add a label directly next to the lines for each of these series, for example, each series represents a country, so next to the end of each line on the graph I would like to label it with the country for which it corresponds. The countries are Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, US, China.

Thanks,
Jad

Hi Jad,

I faced the same issue, and it's now resolved. Take a look at my posts in #22 and #23. https://www.statalist.org/forums/for...-figures/page2
