Identfifier as observation label scatter plot

Hi there,

I have a panel data set with two dimensions (in addition to time) with a specific identifier for each dimension. I want to create scatter plots and use one of the identifier series to label each observation in a scatter plot.

In know I can choose "Obs.Label" to add it, but that adds the joint identifier (for both dimensions) and the corresponding period.

Create an alpha series with the labels you want, then use

Code: Select all

graph.setobslabel nameofseries

Not sure we are on the same page here:

That's what I do:

Code: Select all

group temp a b freeze(graph) temp.scat(panel=stack) graph.setobslabel identifier
"identifier" is an alpha series. However, the plot appears without observation labels, only the standard circles are visible.
