I should have added that Nick's method does work for labels with box over2
I had to create a variable that combined the two variables that I use -over-
with.
-hivst- and -sex- gives me -hivstsex-
But I would like to know if anyone knows of way to get the count value
inside the box.
egen n = sum(bmi < . & sex < .), by(hivstsex)
decode hivstsex, gen(Hivstsex)
replace Hivstsex = Hivstsex + " (n = " + string(n) + ")"
graph box bmi, medtype(line) over(sex, label(labsize(small))) over(Hivstsex)
