coefplot y-axis labels

[Mukesh Punia]

Dear users I am using Stata 18.5 and trying to plot O-B decomposition results using coefplot

oaxaca outcome (X1: q_mpce_d2 q_mpce_d3 q_mpce_d4 q_mpce_d5)                        ///

After applying oaxaca-blinder decomposition, I am trying to plot the results using coefplot command

coefplot (m1, label(Outcome Variable)), drop(overall:group*) xline(0)                                                               ///

5 "X1" 6 "X2" 7 "X3" 8 "X4" 9 "X5" 10 "X6" 11 "X7"    12 "X8"                                                                  /// 5-12, factors explained

  22 "Constant", labsize(vsmall))

The outcome of the above command is shown in the figure attached here.


My query is:

How to manage the second (outer) part of the y-axis in the graph, i.e., how to align left, add labels, and rotate its angle?

Thank you!!

Use suboptions within option eqlabels() to affect the rendering of outer labels. Aligning the labels on the left is difficult, see https://repec.sowi.unibe.ch/stata/co...lling.html#h-7

thank you, respected Ben Jann, for your response. It worked.

I have two specific queries-

1. Is there a way to "hide or drop outer labels"?
2. I want to combine two graphs/coefplots. Both have the same y-labels but different outcome/dependent variables, so I want to keep y-labels from only one. As shown in the figure attached in post#1. As of now, I did it with gr_edit
