Re: st: Population-pyramid-like graph - positive barlabels on theleft?

[Eric Cahuzac <Eric.Cahuzac@toulouse.inra.fr>]

It's still not the answer you want, but it's an exemple... close to Michael N. Mitchell: "A Visual Guide to Stata Graphics" example.
Where "Homme" and "femme" are numbers and "age" a discrete value.
Eric.


replace homme= -homme/1e+3
replace femme = femme/1e+3
twoway (bar homme age, horizontal yaxis(1))  (bar  femme age, horizontal 
yaxis(2)), /*
