Something like this?

sysuse auto,clear
levelsof rep, local(levels)
foreach l of local levels {
	qui count  if fore == 1 & rep == `l'
	local n = r(N)
	qui count if  rep == `l'
	local d = r(N)
	local mytext "`mytext' 5 `l'   "`n'/`d'"  "
}
egen percent = mean(100 * foreign), by(rep78)
egen total = sum(1), by(rep78)

twoway bar percent rep78,barw(0.5) text(`mytext', box bc(white)  )
ylabel(,angle(h)) ytitle(Percent Foreign)

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.
