You can always put the thing through the -string()- function beforehand,
though:
*************
sysuse auto, clear
keep in 1/10
gen day=18320+_n
form day %td
gen day2=string(day, "%td")
graph bar (mean) price, over(day2, label(angle(forty_five)))
*************

.
If I do
scatter var1 var2
and var2 is formatted as %td date variable then var2 is labelled as
formatted.
If I do
graph box var1, over(var2)
or
dotplot var1, over(var2)
then var2 is not labelled as formatted.
There doesn't seem to be a way to get the %td formatted group variable to
use its formatting. One can relabel(# "text") manually, or one can use the
graph twoway command, but it seems like this should be an option to allow
the group variable formatting to be used.
