Graph marker label anti-aliasing inconsistency

[lucas reddinger]

Hi,

The first marker label is anti-aliased, but the others are not.

Any idea why and how to fix this?

Thanks!!

I figured it out. scatter is stacking a ton of labels on top of each other. The first label has two labels stacked, while the second has five stacked.

A solution:

Dear Lucas,

You could consider this code:

twoway histogram rep78, percent discrete ///
|| scatter rep78_pct rep78 if rep78_unique, ///
graphregion(fc(white) lc(white) ilc(white) margin(l-2 b-2)) ///
ms(none) mlabel(rep78_str) mlabpos(12) ylab(0(5)45) ///
legend(off) ytitle("Part of whole (%)")
graph export "TwowayHistogramLabelled_$dateplot.png", width(1000) replace

which results in:

Thank you for your visualization ideas, but I intentionally stripped away most of the graphical formatting.

My goal of posting a minimal working example (MWE) was to isolate the problem and then also a solution.

My actual use case doesn't use car repair records from 1978, and my visualizations are quite different. Cheers.
