Hi Statalisters,

This note consists of two parts: Part 1 is my belated thanks to those who responded to my previous question and Part 2 contains new questions.

Part 1: Austin Nichols and Nick Cox, Thank you for your advices about a week ago concerning -graph twoway bar- and -graph bar-. Life intervened and I haven't been able to thank you sooner.

Part 2: My real questions.
I have tried in vain to implement the option to produce multiple labels for the category variable in the -graph bar- command. The procedure is described at the bottom of page 37 in Graphics Manual. I use Stata 9.1 and its all files are current. Below I append the do file to reproduce my problem and a portion of the log file showing the error message. In this example I am trying to show percentage distributions of the U.S. population according to degrees of urbanization from 1880 to 1930. The graph TEST_01 gives me what I want with single-line labels. The commands for the graph TEST_02 are identical to those that produce TEST_01 except the addition of the -relabel- suboption. Here I believe I've followed the instructions but failed to attain the desired effect. Does anyone know what I might have done wrong? Thank you. ---Hiroshi
