RE: st: RE: Graph bar with label wtih % symbol at the top of each bar

[Marcos Vinicius <bioestatistico@inbox.com>]

Hello David,
My level of programming in stata is a great limitation. I would be satisfied
getting the labels multiplied by 100.
In my ado file I read the dataset and the code follows to get the graph

  graph bar  (mean)  var1 var2 var3    ,     bargap(20)
  yvaroptions(relabel(1 "text1 " 2 " text2"  3 "text3"   ))   blabel(bar
  ,position(outside)  format(%4.2f))   ytitle("") ylabel( 0 "0" .2 "20%"
 .4  "40%" .6 "60%" .8 "80%" 1 "100%", angle(horizontal)) title("text4")

My question:Should I  put this code before graph bar and well done?
> . foreach v of varlist var1 var2 var3 {
> . 	gen `v'_pct = 100 * `v'
> . }
Thank you in advance,
Marcos
