I am trying to produce a histogram of a variable with only two possible responses, 1 and 2. The graphic looks like I intended except for the large gap
between the y-axis and the first bar. I would like to shift both bars to the left or begin the bars closer to the y-axis.
I have posted a jpeg of the histogram at http://www.bsos.umd.edu/socy/alan/histo.jpg and am using the following code:
hist prayer, percent discrete gap(20) ///
title("Approve of Supreme Court Decision Prohibiting Requiring the" ///
"Recitation of the Lord's Prayer in Public Schools") ///
subtitle("(n=1,775)") ///
xlabel(1 "Approve" 2 "Disapprove") ///
xtitle("") ///
ylabel(,angle(0)) ///
bfcolor(olive_teal) blcolor(teal) ///
note("Source: General Social Survey 2000")
TIA,
Alan
