To echo Nick`s sentiment, I have now tried for some time to get Stata to
behave "irrationally" with the -caption-, and have not succeeded, in spite
of my honest attempts to reproduce the command provided by Dorothy as much
as possible. As a last resort, she could still drag the thing around in the
graph editor...

Betreff: st: RE: Caption on a bar graph
I don't understand "underneath (or on top of, I guess)".
It is easier to address problems reproduced with datasets everyone can
access and stripped of inessentials.
With commands like these:
. sysuse auto
(1978 Automobile Data)
. graph bar turn trunk , over(foreign) caption(whatever)
. graph bar turn trunk , over(foreign) caption(whatever, pos(12))
. graph bar turn trunk , over(foreign) caption(whatever, pos(12)
ring(0))
I can move the caption around.

My caption is appearing underneath (or on top of, I guess) the
category axis labels on my bar graph. I can't fathom why (I've tried
specifying a different ring option, no luck). My code is as follows:
#delimit;
graph bar seriesAG-seriesMNF, over(year, label(labsize(medium)))
percentages stack
graphregion(fcolor(white) lcolor(white) margin(zero))
plotregion(fcolor(white) lcolor(white) ilcolor(white))
title("xxxx",color(black) placement(west) justification(left)
size(large))
caption("Sources: xxxx", size(vsmall) placement(west)
justification(left))
legend(cols(1) span position(3) stack region(lcolor(white)) title(" ",
size(small))
order(10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1) rowgap(7) keygap(1)
label(1 "Agriculture") label(2 "Mining, Oil & Gas") label(3
"Construction")
label(4 "Wholesale" "& Retail Trade") label(5 "Financial Services")
label(6 "Other Services") label(7 "Public Administration")
label(8 "Utilities") label(9 "Transport" "& Communication")
label(10 "Manufacturing"))
xsize(7.5) ysize(4.1)
ytitle("")
ylabel(0 "0%" 20 "20%" 40 "40%" 60 "60%" 80 "80%" 100
"100%",glwidth(thin) glcolor(black) angle(horizontal) labsize(medium))
