Have you considered my advice from the previous discussion here:

> I think there’s no need to get personal here - I would tend to agree that it would be helpful for OP to consult some introductory statistics/econometrics textbooks to get a better understanding of the methodologies he’s using, but that’s not all that relevant to the concrete question at hand. What I would humbly ask of you, @YummyPampers2, though is to be respectful of other people’s time and effort spent helping him. Practically this means reading [Please read: make it easier to help you](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/please-read-make-it-easier-to-help-you/14757) and fo…

?

Again your piece of code isn’t an MWE that reproduces your problem. In this case it’s possible to fix it (by adding `import StatsPlots as stp` at the top, and fixing the second `scatter` call by adding a comma after `(:gold, 12)`), but again this is just unnecessary overhead for people trying to help you.

The answer to your question is that this

```julia
l = @layout([title="Entity Compare";
            ylab="Measurement";
            xlab="Lab Entity"])

```

still isn’t Plots/StatsPlots syntax, here’s the documentation for layouts:
