X-axis label size

[Sandra White]

I am a new Stata user and am trying to create a horizontal bar graph (tornado diagram) using twoway rbar. I want to change the size of my x and y-axis labels; however, when I use labsize(small)in the xlabel code (see below in bold), it states that this option is not available. Can anyone provide guidance on what I am doing wrong? I cannot seem to find a proper replacement when I search online. Thank you!

twoway (rbar high low y1, horizontal barwidth(0.25) blwidth(medthick) blcolor(black)) (scatter y2 mean, msize(zero) mcolor(none) mlabel(name) mlabpos(12) mlabsize(vsmall)), xlabel(1000(1000)5000, format(%13.0fc) labsize(small)) xline(2440, lwidth(thin) lpattern(dash) lcolor(gs8)) ///
scheme(s2Mono) legend(off) xtitle("ICER",size(small))

Welcome to the Stata Forum/ Statalist.

You may wish to add a comma before labsize.

I find the parentheses notation for commands hard to read. Try this instead

twoway rbar high low y1, horizontal barwidth(0.25) blwidth(medthick) blcolor(black)) ///
|| scatter y2 mean, msize(zero) mcolor(none) mlabel(name) mlabpos(12) ///
mlabsize(vsmall) xlabel(1000(1000)5000, format(%13.0fc) labsize(small)) ///
xline(2440, lwidth(thin) lpattern(dash) lcolor(gs8)) ///
scheme(s2Mono) legend(off) xtitle("ICER",size(small))

That seemed to have solved the problem. Thank you all!
