I can see that can of worms right in
front of me. Trouble is, I left my Swiss
army knife at home. More to the point, Stata
doesn't offer such patterns.
I'd agree with Lee Sieswerda and Friedrich Huebler.
In fact, I'd go further.
On the whole, the best way of explaining
which bars are which is text labelling,
I would suggest. What more direct way to
state the categories being shown?
