Re: st: Left-justify labels for categories, using -graph hbar- ?

[David Airey <david.airey@Vanderbilt.Edu>]

.

In my copy of Stata 10 for OS X (up to date), when I use the - 
position- option for left of right under the -advanced- dialog, left  
justification moves the y axis line to between division and region in  
a way that looks like a bug. I don't like that the graph editor allows  
options that are not available to the command line (or I don't know  
how to do either).
