No, or at least not to me.
In the following example:
sysuse auto,clear
graph hbar mpg, over(fore) name(gr1,replace)
graph hbar mpg, over(rep) name(gr2,replace)
you would want the bars in the two graphs to be the same size?
One way would be add empty categories so both graphs had the same
number of categories:
sysuse auto,clear
graph hbar mpg, over(fore) name(gr1,replace)
graph hbar mpg, over(rep) name(gr2,replace)
set obs 77
replace fore = -5 in 75
replace fore = .5 in 76
replace fore = 5 in 77
graph hbar mpg, over(fore, relabel( 1 `"" " " ""' 3 `"" " " ""' 5 `""
" " ""')) ///
name(gr3,replace)
