I don't really understand what is wanted, but you might find Nick
Cox's -stripplot- available from SSC helpful. For example,
***
sysuse auto, clear
stripplot mpg, over(foreign) box stack centre vertical // overlays box plot
stripplot mpg, over(foreign) bar stack centre vertical // overlays
mean and 95% CI
***
Alternatively, to display mean with bars showing +/- 1SD you could:
***
egen meanmpg = mean(mpg), by(foreign)
egen sdmpg = sdmpg, by(foreign)
gen lb = meanmpg - sdmpg
gen ub = meanmpg + sdmpg
stripplot mpg, over(for) box stack centre vertical addplot(sc meanmpg
foreign || rcap lb ub foreign)
***
hope this is useful
