Draw a graph with four quadrants

[Yue Zhao]

Hi all,
I have a dataset with two variables: var 1 and var 2. I want to draw a graph with four quadrants. But I have no clue about how to implement this. I also want to label the ID and year for each 'data point' in these four quadrants. Can anyone help with this? Your help is greatly appreciated.
I put the sample data here.
Thanks.

[Rich Goldstein]

what do you mean by "quadrants" - there are no negative values in your data, so ...

[Marcos Almeida]

Welcome to the Stata Forum / Statalist,

Thank you for having read the FAQ and used the code delimiters to provide data we can work on.

Please check whether this is what you need:

 scatter var1 var2, by(Year) mlabel(ID)

Hopefully that helps.

[Yue Zhao]

Thank you.
