I am intrigued by the implication that there are Statalist 
members who have never done any data analysis. 
Be that as it may, in addition to sources mentioned by others -- 
the graphics manual, the splendid new book by Michael Mitchell, 
and longer-established texts such as Hamilton's -- there is much discussion of graphics
in the Stata Journal. For example, the Speaking Stata column is 
devoted to graphics in 2004. A column "Graphing categorical and 
compositional data." appears in Stata Journal 4(2), 190-215  
(now published electronically) and one "Graphing distributions"
appeared in Stata Journal 4(1), 66-88.
