Jordan <[email protected]> is having trouble using the option -yline()- with
-graph hbox-,

Michael Mitchell <[email protected]> has correctly identified
this as a bug that occurs in Stata 11, but not in Stata 10,

In replying to Friedrich Huebler's <[email protected]> post about zero lines
for dot charts. 

Michael found the same misbehavior of the -yline()- option when using 
-graph dot-.  Indeed, -yline()- is not working properly on -graph hbox-,
-graph hbar-, and -graph dot-.

This will be fixed in the next update.

Martin Weiss <[email protected]> suggested using the Graph Editor to add
such lines, and that is indeed the best workaround until the next Stata
update.
