The following ran in a second or so.
Why don't you -set trace on- before you run -histogram- and see what it
is doing.
. clear
. set obs 4445
obs was 0, now 4445
. gen x = 100 + (25*invnormal(uniform()))
. summ x
Variable | Obs Mean Std. Dev. Min Max

. histogram x, bin(23)

Subject: st: Too much time to draw a graph
Dear Stata users,
I have a problem on drawing a graph with my Stata. It takes too much
time.
I am running Stata 11/MP on Japanese version of Windows XP.
After I input a line of histogram command on the command window, I
cannot get the graph even after 10 minutes. The data has only 4445
records with around 10 variables.
Do someone share a similar problem? Is it a unique problem to Japanese
version of Window XP, or common to "slow" PC? My note PC has a dual
core CPU (Centrino system) of 1 GHz.
. histogram value if itemcode == 3
(bin=23, start=7.8000002, width=.38695655)
.... long time passing .....
