-catplot- (SSC) automates this.

Dear List
My data was set up like this
Cause of death            age_gr
1                1
2                2
3                3
4                4
5                5
6                6
7                7
8                8
9                9

After googleing and a little crying i found this:
http://stata.com/statalist/archive/2008-05/msg01072.html

Then i did the following:
. gen frequency = 1
. graph bar (sum) frequency, over(group) over(age_gr) asyvars

That did the trick.

Merry christmas!

This sounds like something I was playing with a couple of weeks ago. I came up with the following to match one of the figures in a paper I was
reading:

ID year cause1 cause2 cause3 cause4 cause5 cause6 cause7
1    1    150    25    28    31    13    7    77
2    2    125    38    28    38    12    3    55
3    3    129    38    38    27    26    16    71
4    4    134    35    47    28    20    19    68
5    5    103    39    31    24    27    21    68

label define yearlbl 1 "1981" 2 "1986" 3 "1991" 4 "1996" 5 "2001"
label values year yearlbl

graph bar (asis) cause1 cause2 cause3 cause4 cause5 cause6 cause7,stack
over(year) ///
legend(order(1 "CHD" 2 "Lung" 3 "Cancer" 4 "Lungdis" 5 "Injury" 6
"Suicide" 7 "Other")) ///
ytitle("Title") ylabel(0 100 200 300 400,ang(hor)) bar(1,color (black))
bar(2,color(gray)) title("Males",pos(11))

I'm a novice with graphs...but this seemed ok for my purposes. So age
group would replace 'year' in this example; and you would have 12 causes
rather than 7.
Feel free to ignore: it may not be what you are looking for. Would be
very interested, however, to know your final solution!

Dear Muhammad and Nick
Thank you for your fast answers.
I actually want something like the asyvars shown here
http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/faq/barcap.htm
But i cannot figure out how to do it with two categorical variables
and to count the data so that i get on the y-axis the sum of
obeservations with in the 12 categories within the different age
groups (0-100) lars

-tabplot- (SSC) pushes the very simple idea of two-way bar charts. I
am not clear that it is what you ask for, but it could be useful
nevertheless. The bars don't touch by default, but that's tunable.

Dear list

I have two variables (causes of death and age groups) And i want to
present them as a bar - chart.

The idea is that the x axis will contain the age groups 0 10 20 30 ...
100
years

For every age group i want the total number (or percent) of
observation within the 15 categories i have defined so that if 10
persons died of causes within category 1 there will be a spike of 10
on the y axis, and similarly for the other categories.

The variables are:
Cod is an integer of 1-12

And age_gr: integer from 0-100 in 10 year intervals

Hope that made sense.
