That requires major data surgery, so unless it means the
difference between publish or not publish, I would not
bother. Anyhow, the example below should get you started.
Notice that -catplot- is not in offical Stata, and that
you are asked to report where you retrieved a user written
program from. I got mine from SSC (-ssc install catplot-).
*-------------- begin example ------------------
sysuse auto, clear
catplot hbar foreign
contract foreign
gen y1 = foreign - .25
gen y2 = foreign + .25
expand 2
bys foreign: replace _freq = 0 if _n==2
list
twoway rarea y1 y2 _freq if foreign == 0, ///
fcolor(gs12) || ///
rarea y1 y2 _freq if foreign == 1, ///
fcolor(gs12) legend(off) ///
ylab(0 "domestic" 1 "foreign") ///
ytitle("") xtitle("frequency")
*----------------- end example -------------------
( For more on how to use examples I sent to statalist see:

Hope this helps,
