This is documented. See Cox, N.J. 2011. Stata tip 102: Highlighting specific bars. Stata Journal 11(3): 474-477. Example code: separate price, by(rep78 == 3) graph hbar (mean) price0 (mean) price1 , over(rep78) bar(1, color(blue)) bar(2, color(yellow)) /// nofill legend(off) b2title(`: var label price') l1title(`: var label rep78') On Tue, Aug 21, 2012 at 10:33 AM, Richard Ohrvall <richard.ohrvall@gmail.com> wrote: > I am creating some bar graphs where I would like fill some bars with a > different color based on the values for some other variable (or in > some cases the variable I use to create the groups).
