This can be simplified a bit while
keeping the same idea. You don't need
to change the basic data structure.
sysuse educ99gdp, clear
gen public04 = 1.2*public
gen private04 = 1.2*private
encode country, gen(ccode)
gen ccode2 =ccode+.2
replace ccode = ccode-.2
#delimit ;
tw bar public04 ccode , barw(0.4) || bar private04 ccode2,
barw(0.4) || bar public ccode, barw(0.4) || bar private
ccode2, barw(0.4) xla(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10, alternate val);
Note that this solution hinges on -public04- and -private04-
being greater than -public- and -private- respectively,
so that the later bar laid down first does not obscure the
earlier bar laid down second.
