First, know that "stratum" is the singular of "strata".
This piece of Latin will come in very useful during
your statistical career.
Neil Shephard already gave a helpful answer. His
reference to an article by myself in the Stata Journal
2004. Speaking Stata: Graphing categorical and compositional
data. The Stata Journal 2:190-123 (Abstract :
http://ideas.repec.org/a/tsj/stataj/v4y2004i2p190-213.html).
is however a little awry in terms of volume and page numbers,
which should be 4(2): 190-215.
An analogue of your question is easily seen with
. sysuse auto, clear
. tab foreign rep78, row
Two commands that might be useful for you are -catplot-
and -tabplot-, both downloadable from SSC. For example,
. tabplot foreign rep78 , percent(rep78) show(format(%4.1f))
is to my mind a little more interesting than more
conventional bar charts.

Lukar Thornton sent an HTML message, contrary
to Statalist protocol. Here is the plain text:
I have some data that I would like to fit onto a single graph (see below)
I want a vertical bar graph with the ffintake_ord categories along the
x-axis with 3 vertical lines for each category to represent the percentages
for each strata.
Is this possible and if so how do I do it?
| ffintake_ord
Strata | 0 1 2 | Total
-----------+---------------------------------+----------
1 | 523 284 61 | 868
| 60.25 32.72 7.03 | 100.00

2 | 495 281 80 | 856
