Re: st: several gr hbar but wants bar of same size

["b. water" <barleywater@hotmail.com>]

scott, thank you again for your reply.

i think there might be at most 3 more categories to come, so should be safe 
from the max 26 categories.

i do'd your do-file but got these:

. levelsof time,local(levels)
unrecognized command:  levelsof
r(199);

end of do-file
r(199);

so i changed the levelsof to levels, which allowed the do-file to continue 
until:

. foreach l of local levels {
 2. count if time == "`l'"
 3. if r(N) !=26 {
 4. local size = ((26-2)/r(N))*2.5
 5. }
 6. else {
 7.         local size = 1
 8. }
 9. disp "`size'"
10.
. gr hbar noof if timetest=="`l'", over(test, sort(pos) gap(*`size')
11. label(labsize(*.65))) ///

>  ytitle("No. of studies")  ysc(r(0 35)) ylab(0 (5) 35) ///
>  name(gr_`l',replace)
12. local name "`name' gr_`l'"
13. }
  13
4.615384615384616
parentheses do not balance
r(198);

end of do-file
r(198);

all the brackets () and {} included seems to be accounted for unless of 
course the error message alluded/refers to something else.

would appreciate your further advice on this.

regards,
bw
