I missed the -hbar- part.
It appears that the second and third text element are horizontal at
20% of the x-axis and at the 15 and 10 location on the y-axis. The
first element is at 25% of the x-axis and at the 20 location on the
y-axis. If -graph bar- is used they are all on horizontal line.
-graph hbar mpg, over(head) text( 20 25 "20_25" 15 20 "20_15" 10 20
"20_10") bar(1, fcolor(gs15)) - the text element are in a vertical
line.
-graph hbar mpg, over(head) text(25 20 "20_25" 20 15 "20_15" 20 10
"20_10") bar(1, fcolor(gs15)) - the text elements are in a horizontal
line.
Note in both cases I have had to reverse the order the x and y
location for the first element.
Or, this works as well:
-graph hbar mpg, over(head) text(25 20 "" 25 20 "20_25" 15 20 "20_15"
10 20 "20_10") bar(1, fcolor(gs15))-
