Re: st: Bar chart with several different variables on X axis

[Ulrich Kohler <kohler@wzb.eu>]

Besides googling, have you also looked in the help of -graph bar-?
If you type

. help graph_bar##group_options

you'll find an example that is similar to 

. sysuse auto
. graph bar weight, over(for) over(rep78)


Many regards
Uli
