RE: st: RE: gr bar for string variable
Stata's graphing capability is very powerful in part because it has
many user-defined settings, but it is often difficult to remember the
syntax if you don't use it every day. One way around this is to start
with the -Graphics- dialog box, create some graphs that test out
different settings, then paste the output from the -Results- screen
into the do-file editor and further tinker with the settings.
Also, I agree with Nick Cox's suggestion of perusing the Stata
Journal archives online, and I would particularly recommend his
article cited below.

compositional data," Stata Journal, StataCorp LP, vol. 4(2), pages
190-213, June.

on a separate note, i wonder whether frequent (or perhaps fluent or
tutors of) stata graphic's users has any tips to share on how to
they learnt/mastered stata graphical functions. i use [G] & michael
mitchell's A Visual Guide to Stata Graphics to help me built the
desired graphs. yet in spite of these, still found myself seeking
advice/help.
