Scatter plots
Let's start with scatter plots. Assume that your data has variable A and variable B with a lot of values. You need to find a correlation between variable A and variable B. Before you find the correlation, you need to plot the scatter graph of these two variables.
Select twoway graphs from the Stata tool list and follow the following steps:
Click on the Create button. Here is what the box will look like:
