" Also I´m not able to superimpose other plots on the same graph."
You can, however, try to recreate as much as possible with -twoway- which
gives you access to other plot types on the same graph. See NJC`s
http://www.stata-journal.com/article.html?article=gr0039 for a similar
approach...

Subject: Re: st: advanced (for me that is) graphing
The histogram command ala Nick Cox is closest to what I want to convey,
However since there are 56 years along the x-axis it doesnt look very nice.
I could graph by decades, but all my other graphs are on individual years.
Also I´m not able to superimpose other plots on the same graph.

(year). So far so good, the problem is that I´d like each year to be
represented with the distribution of age on the y axis. I was thinking color
coding the number of people within each 10-year category on the y axis, and
having the colors with the associated numbers in the legend. preferably
all within a twoway graph so that I could also superimpose the median in the
end.
