Re: st: Histogramm Graph option Note

[Nick Cox <njcoxstata@gmail.com>]

Not wrong in principle:

. sysuse auto
(1978 Automobile Data)

. hist mpg, by(foreign, note(" "))
parentheses do not balance
r(198);

. twoway histogram mpg, by(foreign, note(" "))

-hist- is not a one-to-one synonym for -twoway histogram-, but I can't
see a reason for different behaviour here. That looks like a small bug
in -hist-, actually -histogram-.
