Re: st: Bar graph

[Nick Cox <njcoxstata@gmail.com>]

Good example.

By the way, I think it's fairly crazy to use O deg Fahrenheit as the
base of a bar chart, a point I have made previously to StataCorp.   32
deg F perhaps, or even better just use -graph dot-.

(Reminder for people in most countries of the world: use of Fahrenheit
temperatures is in practice largely confined to the USA.)
