Here is the full solution. You have to use an undocumented option...

***
sysuse auto, clear

decode foreign, gen(Foreign)
gen one = 1

catplot hbar Foreign, /*
*/ oversubopts(label(labsize(vlarge))) /*
*/  ylabel(, labsize(vlarge))
***

dear all,

i have another question related to my previous one:
is there any possiblity to change the size of the axis-labels  of both 
the yaxis as well as the categorical axis at the command "catplot hbar..."

thanks again very much for your replies,
best,
Florian
