Dear Statalist users,
I have a problem with plotting a graph.
I am using Stata 12.
I have a categorical string variable which I want to graph as a bar chart based on each category percentage (below is the tablulation of the variable)
CATEGORY Freq. Percent Cum.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
01 Accidental: recreation | 25,096 35.72 35.72
02 Accidental: work related | 8,602 12.24 47.96
03 Accidental: not work related | 15,459 22.00 69.97
04 Accidental: unspecified | 14,815 21.09 91.05
05 Assault | 1,244 1.77 92.82
06 Self inflicted | 1,616 2.30 95.12
07 Suicidal | 195 0.28 95.40
08 NAI of child | 213 0.30 95.70
09 Arson | 119 0.17 95.87
98 other | 1,486 2.12 97.99
99 unknown | 1,413 2.01 100.00
--------------------------------+-----------------------------------
Total | 70,258 100.00
Unfortunately Stata won't do it with its graphics options so I used -catplot- which is a user written program downloaded from SSC.
I use the following command and it works perfectly
catplot category, percent
What I want is to have it BY 2 other variables (sex, agegroup)
So I am trying to use the command:
catplot category, percent by(sex agegroup )
But it says too many variables specified r(103).
It looks like catplot is able to plot a variable restricted to only one by variable.
Is there another way of plotting the graph I want?
Thanks a lot.
Neo
