st: Graph bar: tickmarks won't disapper

[Ernest Berkhout <Ernest.Berkhout@seo.nl>]

Hi Statalisters,

after trying several unsuccesful ways of dealing with this problem, i turn 
to you to see if someone can point me out what i'm doing wrong in the 
following context. I want to make a bar graph, for 3 subgroups of the 
variable "kennis" using -by-. As i use the economist scheme which uses 
white gridlines, i do want labels on my y-axis but i DON'T want these 
little black tickmarks in front of them. Because now it looks like that 
value ".5" appears as "- .5" (minus one half).

I used the following command, including the -notick- option, but it seems 
that this option gets neglected by Stata... Did i overlook something maybe?

#delimit ;
graph bar (asis) st_salpct st_wcombi st_eigniv st_tijd st_uurok st_ftev ,
        over(junk, axis(off) )
        by(kennis,
                imargin(small)
                rows(1)
                caption(`=char(169)' SEO/Elsevier `enqjaar', size(small))
                note("")
                legend( position(6) )
        )
      subtitle(, size(medlarge) )
      legend( size(small) rows(1) )
      ylabel( -1 -.5 0 .5 ,  notick gmax)
      ysize(7)
      xsize(4.5)
      scheme(economist)
      saving(kennis`enqjaar'-std, replace)
;
#delimit cr
