Here is a small graphical trick possible in an up-to-date
Stata 8:
levels myvar, local(levels)
histogram myvar, xtic(`levels', tposition(inside))
I don't know what limit there is on how many levels
you can show. I guess that it bites for data sets
large enough for this to be of little or no value
graphically.
I believe that a similar idea is referred to in many circles
(S-Plus, R?) as drawing a rugplot. Original reference
welcome.
