Nick:

I guess I miss formulated my problem.
What I need to have is a chart, which on the y-axes gives me the value (e.g. percentage of people with sleeping problems) on the x-axes I have e.g. different status groups.

What I now would like to visualize is not only the percentage within a group with sleeping problems � I also would like to demonstrate how big this status group is in the whole population.

So fare I�ve double and triple checked the book �a visual guide to STATA graphics� by Michael Mitchell as well as everything I found on the STATA website.

I�m working with a swiss healt survey. I�m more used to work with SPSS which doesn�t give me that option. So I�ve learnt now STATA (which I actually like a lot). Apparently it�s possible to draw such a chart with SAS 9.

Best,

Claudia

Is there a way of having the width of a bar (on the x-axes) visually reflect its respective percentage and that all categories sum up to 100%?
