Thank you Nick, Vince, and Allan for answering my question.
Following a suggestion from Nick, I found a solution with -twoway bar- which
was good enough for me, albeit not what I have initially intended.
twoway ///
(bar hsatcc cnew, horizontal base(`min') blcolor(black) bfcolor(white)) ///
(bar hsateu cnew, horizontal base(`min') blcolor(black) bfcolor(black)) ///
(dot hsatagg cnew, horizontal base(`min')), ///
legend(off) ///
yline(29, lstyle(foreground)) ///
ylab(1(1)28 30(1)33, valuelabel angle(horizontal) axis(1)) ///
xtitle("") ytitle("") ///
ysize(7) xlab(#5, grid)
exit
That is, I designed a categorical variable (cnew) to order the countries along
the vertical axis. I left one category empty in this cnew which gives me
space between the dot-plot part and the bar-blot part, In this space I
ploted a line in the foreground.
I did not follow Vince's suggestion. The graphs has to be inserted into a Word
document which has to be sent to a third party who is going to make a
internet page from it. Visually alinging the plot regions seems to be not
robust enough for this purpose.
many regards
