Twoway Scatter help: Change range, show labels and Bisector line

[Andreas Haugen]

Hello. I am trying to do a twoway scatter graph. The first problem i faced was that the range was not the same at both the axis. I fixed this with the xscale, yscale command. This is my command now and it works:

graph twoway scatter TurnoutFOE TurnoutSOE, xscale(range(0 100)) yscale(range(0 100))

However, I would also like to show labels for my points on the graph. This can be done with and it works:

graph twoway scatter TurnoutSOE TurnoutFOE,mlabel(Countries)

But when I try do combine them I can not do it.
graph twoway scatter TurnoutFOE TurnoutSOE,mlabel(Countries), xscale(range(0 100)) yscale(range(0 100))

Gives me the message: Invalid varlist

graph twoway scatter TurnoutFOE TurnoutSOE, xscale(range(0 100)) yscale(range(0 100)), mlabel(Countries)

Gives me the message: Countries: may not use time-series operators on string variables

How do i solve this??

Furhtermore, I would like to also add a bisector. Meaning a 45degree line in the graph.

Can someone please help me of write the full command to make all this work?

Thanks
Andreas

remove comma before xscale is a start in

graph twoway scatter TurnoutFOE TurnoutSOE,mlabel(Countries), xscale(range(0 100)) yscale(range(0 100))

or use braces:

graph twoway (scatter TurnoutFOE TurnoutSOE,mlabel(Countries)), xscale(range(0 100)) yscale(range(0 100))

PS Wrong fora. This is for Mata.
Hope the above works for you

Thanks Niels, yes I noticed that I posted in the wrong forum. I apologize for that but I did not want to make another thread and spam the forums.

I got it to work thank you. However, I still need help with plotting a bisector, dividing the graph. Now I am doing it manually using the graph editor but it doesnt seem like an accurate way

Is this what you need?

sysuse auto
twoway (scatter price  price,mlabel(make)) (function y=x, range(0 20000)), xscale(range(0 20000)) yscale(range(0 20000))

Yes, thank you sir!
