A side effect of the broken label is that the position of adjacent
labels is shifted. In the example below, with 24 bars, the label for
the AMC Concord has moved up and is no longer next to the bar.
sysuse auto, clear
sort make
replace make = `""AMC Concord""' if make == "AMC Concord"
replace make = `""AMC" Pacer"' if make == "AMC Pacer"
replace make = `"AMC "Spirit""' if make == "AMC Spirit"
graph hbar mpg if _n<25, over(make)
