Abstract

This is a round-up of not quite utterly obvious tips and tricks for graph axes, using both official and community-contributed commands. Ever needed a logarithmic scale but found default labels undesirable? a slightly non-standard scale such as logit, reciprocal or root? a tick to be suppressed? labels between ticks, not at them? automagic choice of “nice” labels under your control? Community-contributed commands mentioned will include mylabels, myticks, nicelabels, niceloglabels, qplot and transplot.
