I personally would save a few lines of repetitive code here by using the
-eclplot- package, downloadable from SSC using the -ssc- command. As in:
sysuse auto,clear
collapse (mean) mpg (max) max = mpg (min) min = mpg, by(rep)
format mpg %9.3g
lab def replab 1 "Fakult 1" 2 "Fakult 2" 3 "Fakult 3" 4 "Fakult 4" 5
"Facu;t 5"
lab val rep replab
eclplot mpg min max rep, horiz eplottype(bar) rplottype(rcap) ///
supby(rep) ciopts(lcolor(black)) ///
plot(scatter rep mpg, msym(none) mlab(mpg) mlabpos(11)
mlabcolor(black))
The -eclplot- command can produce 56 types of confidence interval plot
(or range plot), some of which are more useful than others, but all of
which can be horizontal or vertical.
I hope this helps.

Subject: Re: st: labeling bars with twoway bar and rcap
One way would be to use -scatter , mlab()-
For example:
sysuse auto,clear
collapse (mean) mpg (max) max = mpg (min) min = mpg, by(rep)
format mpg %9.3g
twoway bar mpg rep if rep == 1 , horiz || ///
bar mpg rep if rep == 2 , horiz || ///
bar mpg rep if rep == 3 , horiz || ///
bar mpg rep if rep == 4 , horiz || ///
bar mpg rep if rep == 5 , horiz || ///
rcap max min rep , horiz lcolor(black) || ///
scatter rep mpg, msym(none) mlab(mpg) mlabpos(11) mlabcolor
(black) ///
legend(order(1 "Fakult 1" 2 "Fakult 2" 3 "Fakult 3" 4 "Fakult 4" ))
