Hi,
I have, what should be, a fairly simple inquiry. I'm graphing a set of
bar charts show the average results from a survey. The survey is a
likert scale, with values from 1-5. Its misleading to present the
graph from 0-5, but I can't force Stata to restrict the lower bound
the of the graph. I've used the following sub-options:
ylabel(1(1)5) ///
yscale(range(1 5)) ///
ymtick(1(0.5)5, grid)
I have also set "if" statements in my code graphing only if the values
are > 1 (which all are, of course). Zero is always included as a lower
bound. How should I fix this? (The whole graph command is below if
needed)
Best,
~Pete
