Re: st: Graph of two grouping variables

Dear List
My data was set up like this
Cause of death age_gr
1 1
2 2
3 3
4 4
5 5
6 6
7 7
8 8
9 9
After googleing and a little crying i found this:
http://stata.com/statalist/archive/2008-05/msg01072.html
Then i did the following:
. gen frequency = 1
. graph bar (sum) frequency, over(group) over(age_gr) asyvars
That did the trick.
Merry christmas!
Lars
