David,
Here is one solution.
. sysuse nlsw88, clear
. foreach var of varlist hours wage tenure {
sum `var' if collgrad == 0
gen ncg`var' = r(mean)
sum `var' if collgrad == 1
gen cg`var' = r(mean)
}
. keep in 1
. graph hbar ncghours - cgtenure, ascategory

Dear Stata-listers,
I have a question analogous to one I asked last year that was
graciously answered by Nick Cox
(http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2007-08/msg00934.html).
Rather than pose the question outright, I will illustrate with a
example comparing college graduates with non-college graduates:
. sysuse nlsw88, clear
. graph hbar (mean) hours wage tenure, over(collgrad) showyvars
give you a graph with the bars in the order, from top to bottom, of:
1. mean hours for non-college grads
2. mean wage for non-college grads
3. mean tenure for non-college grads
4. mean hours for college grads
5. mean wage for college grads
6. mean tenure for college grads
But what I actually want is
1. mean hours for non-college grads
2. mean hours for college grads
3. mean wage for non-college grads
4. mean wage for college grads
5. mean tenure for non-college grads
6. mean tenure for college grads
Is there a option, user-written program, or set of commands that
would produce this graph?
David
