graph bar Score, over(abil) over(treatment)
can't be tweaked to produce different colours. However, that is not
correct. The option -asyvars- has precisely this purpose.
Consider the results of
sysuse auto
graph bar mpg, over(foreign) over(rep78)
graph bar mpg, over(foreign) over(rep78) asyvars
graph bar mpg, over(foreign) over(rep78) asyvars nofill
You can naturally add further options to change the colours, etc.

I think the issue is related to me dropping the y-scale from the second graph. Is there a way to make them exactly the same size, e.g. by dealing with the margins?
