Re: st: RE: Graph twoway: Multiple axis and order of plots

[Peter Uhrmacher <peter.uhrmacher@gmx.net>]

Dear Nick,

adding yaxis(1 2) was part of the solution, I only had yaxis(2) and 
axis(2) in my code. However, there is still a minor problem left:

If I add

gen mpg2=mpg/10

to your example

and then do this (i.e. just use the newly created mpg2 instead of mpg 
for the bars and divide the labels (i.e. the range) by 10 as well)

twoway bar mpg2 rep78, yaxis(1 2) yla(1.8(.2)2.8, axis(2)) || line mpg 
rep78, yla(20 30, axis(1))

STATA uses the same range of values for the left and right axis. Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!!
Peter

Thx a lot, the yaxis(1 2) was the solution, I only had yaxis(2) and
axis(2)...!

>> it seems that I am unable to solve a rather simple problem... but I 
hope you can. What I would like to have is a "graph twoway" with a line 
plot and a bar plot. the line plot is supposed to use yaxis1, the bar 
plot is supposed to use yaxis2. at the same time, the bar plot is 
supposed to appear in the background (so that the lines appear on top of 
it). however, whatever I try it seems that the plots that use yaxis2 are 
always put on top of the others that use yaxis1... (which in my case 
means that the line plot is hidden behind the bars). Is there a 
solution? I'm sure there is.
