Antoine,

I got some error messages from your solution, but this one points you in
a different direction and it arguably simpler. It calculates the numbers
for the histogram by hand and uses -tw rbar- instead of -tw histogram-:

------------------------------------------------------cut here---
clear
set scheme s2mono
webuse nlswork.dta, clear
g wage=exp(ln_wage)
su wage, de
drop if wage>r(p99)
egen t=group(year)
g ti=t+runiform()
g ti2=ti^2
g ti3=ti^3
qreg wage ti ti2 ti3
predict med
qreg wage ti ti2 ti3 , quantile(.95)
predict q95
qreg wage ti ti2 ti3 , quantile(.05)
predict q5

sum wage, meanonly
gen wageclass = autocode(wage,20,r(min),r(max))
by t wageclass, sort: gen wageperc = _N/r(N)

// rescale wageperc
sum wageperc, meanonly
replace wageperc = wageperc/r(max) * .80

gen lower = t
gen upper = t + wageperc

levelsof wageclass, local(K)
local width  = (`:word 2 of `K'' - `:word 1 of `K'')*.95
twoway                                         ///
  || rbar lower upper wageclass,               /// 
  color(gs12) barwidth(`width') horizontal     ///
  || line med q95 q5 ti, sort lcolor(black..)
