Labeling lines in graph in plot area (not using legend)

[Christina Gibson-Davis]

Hi - I am doing a simple two-way line graph where I would like to label each of the lines in the plot area. I do not want to use the legend. One alternative would be to label a specific data point in the line, but is there an alternative that does not involve identifying/labeling a specific data point?
Thank you,
Christina

Welcome to the Stata Forum / Statalist.

You may wish to use - text() - options, such as:

. sysuse auto
(1978 Automobile Data)

. twoway (connect mpg weight if foreign ==0, sort) (connect mpg weight if foreign ==1, sort), text(25 3700 "Foreign car") text(12 3500 "Domestic car") legend(off)

Thank you. This should work.
