-catplot- is a user-written program from SSC. For examples, see

Q2/04 SJ 4(2):190--215 (no
commands)
discusses graphical possibilities for categorical and
compositional data
which is accessible to all.
Martin gave a good example, but how did he know?
1. The help for -catplot- gives a pointer to graph options, including
this one.
2. -viewsource catplot.ado- would open up a view on the code, showing
you that the -ytitle()- option is being used here.
Martin's example is not the only possible. I suggest that -- setting
aside the title detail --
catplot bar rep78 foreign, percent(foreign)
gives a better graph. Note that
catplot bar rep78, over(foreign) percent(foreign)
is equivalent. The latter form is better if you want start tucking
suboptions inside the -over()- call.
What is essential is that whatever is regarded as the categorical
response variable is named to the left, in the varlist.
"cat" here indicates furry felicity.

Is it possible to change the "percent of category" title on a catplot
to something else?
