Great, thanks again Ulrich.

You can construct boxplots with twoway as well:

sysuse auto, clear
by rep78, sort: egen pct25 = pctile(weight), p(25)
by rep78, sort: egen pct50 = pctile(weight), p(50)
by rep78, sort: egen pct75 = pctile(weight), p(75)
by rep78, sort: egen min = min(weight)
by rep78, sort: egen max = max(weight)
gen ufence = min(pct50 + 1.5*(pct75-pct25),max)
gen lfence = max(pct50 - 1.5*(pct75-pct25),min)

graph twoway ///
  || rbar pct25 pct75 rep78, barwidth(.5) ///
  || rspike ufence pct75 rep78 ///
  || rspike lfence pct25 rep78 ///
|| scatter pct50 rep78, ms(O)
You will have to work on colors and friends.

Generally, producing graphs is much more a data management task. Once
you have your data ready, -graph twoway- is nice and simple.

Thanks Ulrich, excellent solution, much simpler than mine!

I wonder now if such a simple solution would also be available for the upper part of the R graph, since -graph box- is not a twoway type and, as I understand it, cannot be overlayed with another -twoway- graph...

Antoine,

I got some error messages from your solution, but this one points you in
a different direction and it arguably simpler. It calculates the numbers
for the histogram by hand and uses -tw rbar- instead of -tw histogram-:

Dear _all,

I was asked if I could reproduced a graphic like http://addictedtor.free.fr/graphiques/RGraphGallery.php?graph=109
in Stata.

Using nlswork.dta, I was able to produce the graph whose code is pasted below.

As you can see, the years are not evenly spaced on the x-axis. In particular, the part between "1" and "2" is much smaller than the rest.

I understand that, in fact, the total width of the sub graphs are all equal, and that the visual difference is due to the presence of the y axis and its legend in the first sub-graph.

Is there a way to set the length of the axis in the first sub graph, or, alternatively, to produce a graph with just the y-axis in such a way that it would look nice?

Best,
Antoine
