With -graph hbox- the numerical is still the y-axis. Try
-graph hbox px, over(nxs) yline(70) ylab(50(20)160)-

Given that my grouping variable has 6 categories and the labels are rather long, hbox(horizontal boxes) rather than box (vertical boxes) gives I nicer picture. However, I find I am unable to mark a critical value with a vertical line nor am I able to specify tick marks when I use hbox.
