Jordan <drreg@earthlink.net> is having trouble using the option -yline()- with
-graph hbox-,

Michael Mitchell <Michael.Norman.Mitchell@gmail.com> has correctly identified
this as a bug that occurs in Stata 11, but not in Stata 10,

In replying to Friedrich Huebler's <fhuebler@gmail.com> post about zero lines
for dot charts.
Michael found the same misbehavior of the -yline()- option when using
-graph dot-. Indeed, -yline()- is not working properly on -graph hbox-,
-graph hbar-, and -graph dot-.
This will be fixed in the next update.
Martin Weiss <martin.weiss1@gmx.de> suggested using the Graph Editor to add
such lines, and that is indeed the best workaround until the next Stata
update.
