Re: st: RE: Adjacent columns using Catplot

[Nicole Boyle <nicboyle@gmail.com>]

Hi Polly,

Assuming:
-Each observation represents one session
-Session times are coded numerically and respectively labeled, e.g. 1
"M" 2 "A" 3 "E"

catplot sessiontimes, asyvars over(sessiontimes) over(feepaid) recast(bar) ///
bar(1, bfcolor(,<insert M color>)) (bar(2, bfcolor(<insert A color>))
bar(3, bfcolor(<insert E color>))

Hope this helps!

>> I have a categorical variable, "Fee Paid", which is the fee paid by clients for clinical sessions in bands of £10. To plot the frequency of each category I have downloaded and used Catplot. To break this down according to the time of the session (morning, afternoon, and evening), I have used the 'by' command. This produces three separate bar graphs, one for morning (M), afternoon (A), and evening (E). However, I would like to produce one bar graph with all three session times next to one another for each band of payment, as below:
