graphitions are any of the standard graphics options except for by. In addition to the usual function of yline, turnip allows
users to specify special values; specifically, mean or median. If either of these is specified, the corresponding value is
added to ylabel so the value is displayed on the у-axis. Note that the default ж-axis label ranges between plus and minus
twice the maximum number of observations in an interval, while the default у-axis label adds 25% of the range above and
below the maximum and minimum values of the variable.
Examples
Issuing the command
. turnip mpg
gives the output for the mpg variable in Stata’s auto data
# of observations per turnip row is the frequency below:
