I think you can get what you want with teh -collapse- command , followed by an appropriate -graph twoway-

Hello List, I'm new to stata and have, I hope, a simple question.
I've checked the archives, web, and stata help pages without
finding the answer.  This may also help, I do most of my graphics
in R; so naturally, i'm looking to see if there is an analog to my
R technique with stata.

Here is the problem.  I want to plot a simple bivariate proportions
table.  The rub is that the proportions that I wish to plot come
from a svy command.  Here is an example of the input->output I wish
to plot (year on x, age first intercourse (proportion by year) on
y).


. svy: tab q58 year if grade==1,per col
(running tabulate on estimation sample)

Number of strata   =        56                  Number of obs      =
     5271
Number of PSUs     =       144                  Population size    =
428239.69
                                                Design df          =
       88

  Key:  column percentages

  Pearson:
    Uncorrected   chi2(28)        =  110.1731
    Design-based  F(., .)         =         .     P =      .



So, what I would like to do is (this would be how I would do it in
R):
1.  output the table with some option or estimation command into a
matrix
2. use the matrix to simply plot each row.

OR, to try any suggestions from the statalist community.

Your help is greatly appreciated.
