Re: st: Percentages on x-axes

N.B. please send plain ASCII text to Statalist
as enjoined in the FAQ and many times on this list.
Also, spelling is Stata (not STATA), ditto.

Those small points aside, my second guess is to
advise a look at -catplot- from SSC. The Statalist
FAQ, mentioned above and below, tells you
more about SSC and how to use SAS.

I guess I misformulated my problem.

What I need to have is a chart which on the y-axis gives me the value
(e.g. percentage of people with sleeping problems) on the x-axis 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
this status group is in the whole population.

So far I've double and triple checked the book "Visual guide to
Stata Graphics" by Michael Mitchell as well as everything I found on
the Stata website.

What I now would like to visualize is not only the percentage within a
group with sleeping problems =96 I also would like to demonstrate how
big this status group is in the whole population.


So fare I=92ve double and triple checked the book =91a visual guide to
STATA graphics=92 by Michael Mitchell as well as everything I found on
the STATA website.=20


I=92m working with a swiss healt survey. I=92m more used to work with =
SPSS
which doesn=92t give me that option. So I=92ve learnt now STATA (which I
actually like a lot). Apparently it=92s possible to draw such a chart
with SAS 9. <fontfamily><param>Times New Roman</param>

If not, more detail on what your data are and what you have tried

to date please.

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%?
