st: Bar chart with several different variables on X axis

[Florian Köhler <florian.koehler@tu-berlin.de>]

Dear Statalist,

I am trying to generate a bar chart where I have several different variables
on the X-Axis (Var 1 to Var 3 in the example below, identically scaled) and
the according mean on the Y axis. Each of this variables should be split
into three groups according to a categorical variable "Cat" (categories A,
B,C in the example). The graph should look like that.
    
	mean
	|
	|			___		___
___		
	|		___	| |		| |
| |		
	|		| |	| |		| |		___
___	| |		 
	|	___	| |	| |		| |	___	| |
| |	| |	___ 
	|	| |	| |	| |		| |	| |	| |
| |	| |	| | 
	|	| |	| |	| |		| |	| |	| |
| |	| |	| | 
	|	| |	| |	| |		| |	| |	| |
| |	| |	| | 
	|	|A|	|B|	|C|		|A|	|B|	|C|
|A|	|B|	|C|
	
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
			Var	1			Var	2
Var	3


Isn't the graph I need pretty common? I find it quite strange that I cannot
figure out how to make it work even after excessive googling ;).

All I managed to get was a bar chart split into three groups A, B, and C
(according to the three categories in variable "cat") and for each of these
groups the mean of var 1 var2 etc was graphed.


Thanks for your help.


Florian
