AW: st: determine coordinates of bars in graph automatically?

["Kaulisch, Marc" <kaulisch@forschungsinfo.de>]

Excuse me for not specifying my question correctly. I hardly use twoway bar so I was not thinking about this option.

My example looks like:
sysuse auto
graph bar price, over(foreign) over(rep78, label( alternate)) asyvars ///
				blabel(total, position(inside) format(%9,1f) color(white) size(small)) ///
				bargap(0)

I do not know how to convert it into a twoway bar and getting rep78 (by(rep78)) to appear in one graph...

Best regards,

Marc

I take it that this is a question about -graph bar-, not -twoway bar-.

One answer is that this kind of control is much easier in -twoway bar-. How helpful that is depends on how close your graphs are to those that can be produced in -twoway bar-.
