Scatter plot for monthly data with repetition of data
-----------------------------------------------------

    ^mnthplot^ yvarlist mnthvar [weight] [^if^ exp] [^in^ range]
    [ ^, p^ad^(^#^)^ graph_options ]

Description
-----------

^mnthplot^ produces a scatter plot for yvarlist versus mnthvar with some 
repetition of data. mnthvar is presumed to take values 1,...,12 for the 12 
months of the year. A pad of # months is added so that 12 + # months are 
shown on the horizontal axis. Showing (12 + #) / 12 annual cycles, where 
# is say 3 or 6, may give a better picture of seasonal variation by 
reducing the visual effect of the break at the end of the year. 


Options
-------

^pad(^#^)^ adds a pad of # months at the right of the horizontal axis. 
    Default 0. Minimum 0, maximum 12.  

graph_options are any of the options allowed with ^graph, twoway^;
    see help for ^graph^.


Examples
--------

        . ^mnthplot sales month, pad(6) xla(1/18)^
