st: RE: histogram, read axes
What Stata does graphically with -histogram- can be replicated
numerically using the -twoway__histogram_gen- command. This was written
up in

commands)
tip illustrating the use of twoway__histogram_gen for
creation of complex histograms and other graphs or tables
which is accessible to all under the Stata Journal's 3 year window.
Example:
sysuse auto
twoway__histogram_gen mpg, width(2) start(10) gen(freq centre) freq
l freq centre if centre < .

I was wondering if there are any easy way to read the histogram that
state created.
Specially, I would to know exactly what bins were created and how many
observations are in each bin.
After drawing the histogram, I thought I would be able to see this
information using some "return" type of command,
but clearly that does not seem to be the case. I looked at the manual
but did not see any such commands either.
I looked at the STATA listserv and I was surprised to see that this
issue has not arisen before.
