Do you mean something like this?
sysuse auto,clear
graph bar (count) mpg, over(rep) name(gr1,replace)
collapse (count) mpg, by(rep)
keep if rep !=.
sum mpg
gen freq = mpg/r(sum)
gen f2 = fre
expand 2
bysort rep: gen t = _n
replace f2 = 0 if t == 1
gen sum = sum(fre) if t ==1
gen foo = 1
twoway area foo sum if rep <=1, color(gs12) ///
