There were several replies to this thread and a later one, but it seems that the simplest point of all was not mentioned.
Once you have collected all the category numeric values that occur, then you can use the -valuelabel- suboption of -twoway, ?label()- to get Stata to use the value labels. Doing it yourself by collecting the labels is a good way to learn some low-level details of Stata, but is nevertheless quite unnecessary.

I´m trying to expand a local string for every category of another
variable and generate custom tickmarks and labeling on a graph. The
problem is that I do not understand how to pass quotes in a macro for
-xlabel- to understand it.
foreach var in `w'{
local zar=(`za'+(o+1)*(`gt'))
local xt `xt' `zar' ----here I´d like to pass -quote-`var' quote..
however I cannot figure out how to do this without getting error
messages.
local ++gt
}
tw `q', xtitle(`3') xlabel(`xt´) ytitle(`1') name(`1',replace)
legend(subtitle(`2')) legend(`z')
also -how can I pass the valuelabels for the different cateogires of var- ??
