The way you are using it, -catplot- is just a wrapper for -graph bar-.
(Incidentally, -catplot ..., over()- is not the intended or recommended
use of -catplot-, but it is evidently legal. Whether it will always do
what
you hope I don't know.)
So there is just one question here.
I have never tried overlapping bars before, as my worldview doesn't
include them, but I can't see that adding -bargap(-30)- makes any
difference either.
StataCorp may be able to help.

svend, nick thanks for your help.
svend - it works.
nick, thanks for the catplot after trial and error: catplot bar
ind_methd if ind_methd != "emerg", over(year) produces svend's
suggestion.
i am just wondering though why bargap(-30) did not work i.e. neither:
graph bar (count) x if ind_methd != "emerg" , over(ind_methd)over(year)
bargap(-30)
nor
catplot bar ind_methd if ind_methd != "emerg", over(year) bargap(-30)
produces the graph ala [G] p. 125 where the bars slightly overlap each
other for the said year. would appreciate further advice/comment.
