Hi all,

I saw many related problems to the following but, as far as I have understood, such issues are not quite thee same of mine.
In particular, I have something like this:

Code:
levelsof newid
twoway scatter trials_jan newid, xlabel(1(1)3, angle(90) valuelabel) xline(`r(levels)') mlabel(year) mlabposition("12") mlabangle(horizontal)
I am trying to mlabel the scatter markers with year. The problem is that for a unique marker there can be many years, which overlap. What I would like to do is to avoid such overlapping maybe placing the years for the same marker one above the other.

Than you,

Federico
