-fulltab- could be fixed, but as it's broken, you should consider other
ways.
I'd look into a -reshape-, so that your variables become subsets.
With data like this, not every category is represented.
set obs 20
set seed 2803
forval j = 1/5 {
gen y`j' = ceil(10 * runiform())
}
So, we -reshape-.
gen id = _n
reshape long y, i(id)
graph pie , over(y) by(_j)
I'd also not use pie charts!

-ssc d fulltab- is quite old (1998), so to get it to work, you have to
specify an appropriate -version-:
*************
clear*
input a b c
2 3 1
4 5 1
1 2 1
3 6 0
end
compress
list, noo
version 7: fulltab a b if c==1, vals(1 2 3 4 5 6) m(mymat)
*************
Weirdly enough, -fulltab- does not include a -version- statement in its
code...

I expect there is something really simple that I am missing here... but
I am
new to Stata and it is doing my head in that I can't display all
categories
of a categorical variable on a pie chart... I am really getting no
where
with this problem. I would really appreciate some help.
I tried exploring ways of storing the "counts" from my categorical
variable
values in another variable, such as a matrix which would allow me to
store a
"zero count" as a "0" value. In searching for a solution, I came
accross
-fulltab- (from SSC), however it doesn't seem to work (it just displays
the
following "program error: code follows on the same line as open
brace").
Anyway, I am not even sure this is the best approach. Surely there is
something more straight forward?

I have several categorical variables that each possess the same list of
categories (value labels).
To enable easy comparison of the pie charts, I would like every category
to
exist on every chart (so that each category retains the same
colour/settings/legend position etc on each chart).
The problem is that some of the variables contain zero occurrences of
certain values (categories) and the standard 'over(varname)' option with
-graph pie- excludes categories with no occurrences. I have tried the
'allcategories' option, but since it applies to the 'over()' variable,
it
does not help.
Does anyone have any ideas? (by the way, since this is for a specific
set
of categorical variables, it is fine if the categories are 'hard coded',
then applied to each variable)
