I think you will find that my example did exactly that - the bars in the histogram for price<=12000 add up to about 96% (the other 4% that are >12000 being ignored).
Take the more extreme example of plotting if price>12000 if you need more convincing...
sysuse auto, clear
twoway__histogram_gen price, percent gen(h x)
local w=x[2]-x[1]
gen zero=0 if !missing(h)
label var zero "Percent"
twoway rbar h zero x if x>12000, barw(`w')

Subject: Re: st: histogram
Thanks David and Scott for your suggestions but both do not render my
problem.
The thing is that if I draw a histogram of var>190 I do not want the
percent to add up to 100, since 100 percent is var without beeing
restricted to be >190. So var>190 may be only 25 Percnet and so the
histogram should show a scale that adds the bars to 25 Percent.
Any further suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
