Scatter plots by category but individual scale on x axis

[Marouan Hajjouz]

Hi,

I want to do multiple scatter plots by category.

I use this line of code:

twoway scatter tfp_gap i_rd_go if Sectornum==1 || lfit tfp_gap i_rd_go if Sectornum==1, , by(Country)

The problem is that because the range of the variables is different per category I do not like the way STATA visualizes the scatter plot. I assume the reason is that it uses the same range on the ``x" axis as below. So my question is how I can adjust the scatter plot to get more ``individual" specific range for the x and y axis in the scatter plot ???

 twoway scatter tfp_gap i_rd_go if Sectornum==1 || lfit tfp_gap i_rd_go if Sectornum==1, , by(Country, norescale)

You can see more in help by option

Thanks, but I think you mean ``rescale" not ``norescale". I suppose the "norescale"was the default option in STATA that's why I was getting the same scale in the scatter plots.

Just to add, there are also separate [no]xrescale and [no]yrescale options if you need them
