Maarten--
I think that is the same graph I gave for comparison purposes, but I
don't think it compares well with -byhist- unless one takes a bit more
care on the -kdensity- side--the kernel density estimates should at
least use the same bandwidths, and perhaps the same estimation points
if we really wish to compare them. Other considerations might apply
if Ariel told us something about the theoretical distribution of the
variable filling the role of "price" (is it discrete? does it have a
finite range?).
clear all
sysuse auto
ren foreign f
byhist price, by(f) name(b) tw(leg(col(1)))
loc l leg(lab(1 "Domestic") lab(2 "Foreign") col(1)) xti(Price)
tw kdensity price if !f, bw(900)||kdensity price if f, name(k) bw(900) `l'
gr combine k b, nocopies name(compar)
tw kdensity price if !f, bw(600)||kdensity price if f, bw(600) `l'
gr combine k Graph, nocopies name(compark)
kdensity price, nogr gen(x pdf)

kdensity price if !f, nogr bw(`b') gen(f0) at(x)
kdensity price if f, nogr bw(`b') gen(f1) at(x)

Try also:
ssc inst vioplot, replace
vioplot price, over(f) horiz
