I want to produce a bar graph where the numeric variable is a 0/1 variable
(so the means are proportions) over a grouping variable -- that part is
easy.  I would like to automatically add, either as a bar label or under the
group id (e.g., the "5", etc. if I typed -graph bar foreign, over(rep78)-
for the auto data), the numerator and denominator for this proportion (mean)
-- is there a way to do that?

Note that I do know that I can do this with graph edit; however, I need to
produce dozens of these graphs so I want an automatic way to do it.

Thanks,
