I have created some histograms in stata to be used in an article which
is to be published.
The person responsible for preparing the artwork for the publication
has requested that I give her a
table showing the raw frequencies used in the histogram.
There are a number of histograms in the paper and I am finding this
quite difficult for some of them.
It is not a problem when I specified the bin, frequency and label
options as below
clear
sysuse sp500
**********************************
* with bin option
**************************************;
histogram volume, bin(15) frequency addlabel
summarize volume
gen min_vol=r(min)
gen max_vol=r(max)
generate volumecat = autocode(volume, 15, min_vol, max_vol)
tab volumecat
However, when I wrote the original paper I created the histograms
without specifying the number of bins
e.g.
**********************************
* without bin option
**************************************;
histogram volume, frequency addlabel
In these cases it hard to know the starting and ending points for the bins.
I wonder if anyone has an idea how to do this?
Thanks.
