Dear statalist,

Here is what must be a simple graphing problem; I confess that I am still mostly baffled by the Stata 8 graphics syntax.

I have seven variables, c1-c7, that take values 1, 2, or 3. I want a graph of the frequencies of these variables that looks something like this:


freq |
|
|
| *
| * *
| * *
| * * *
| * * * * * *
| * * * * * * * * *
|________________________________________ (... etc.)
1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 (... etc.)

c1 c2 c3 (... etc.)


I have been slogging away with -graph bar- and have gotten no farther than the inelegant and unsatisfying method of generating three variables from each variable (measuring the count of each category) and using

graph bar (count) all-of-these-variables

or


graph bar (count) three-at-a-time
and then

graph combine these-seven-graphs

But surely there is a better way. Thanks in advance for any help.
