When -yvaroptions- is used with -graph bar- weights are ignored.

. sysuse auto
(1978 Automobile Data)

. tabstat mpg turn

   stats |       mpg      turn
---------+--------------------
    mean |   21.2973  39.64865
------------------------------

. tabstat mpg turn [aw=length]

   stats |       mpg      turn
---------+--------------------
    mean |  20.75919  40.09305
------------------------------

. graph bar (mean) mpg turn [aw=length], legend(off) showyvars

This draws the bar graph with the weighted means.

. graph bar (mean) mpg turn [aw=length], legend(off) showyvars
yvaroptions(relabel(1 "MPG" 2 "Turn"))

When -yvaroptions- is added the bar graph is drawn with unweighted
means. Can someone explain this behavior? Are there alternatives to
-yvaroptions- that can be used to label bars as in the example above?
I studied the manual but did not find an alternative.

Thank you.
