There are various problems here.
1. The program referred to, -stripplot-, is a user-written program
from SSC; posters are asked to explain that.
2. Meghan refers to attachments, but attachments should not be sent to
Statalist; in any case none are visible.
3. Meghan refers to the 9th graph down, but she is trying to emulate
it with data we can't see and a command she does not give.
I'll try to resolve this directly with Meghan.

Stripplot seems to be the best option given that I have two categorical variables (week and community versus market) and one continuous variable: price. I am basically trying to recreate one of the stripplot graphs from http://www.survey-design.com.au/Usergraphs.html (9th graph down) with my data. When I plot this using the "bar" option I get strangely large values on the x-axis, and the legend ranges from -100 to +100 even though my price variable only ranges between 5 and 20. By contrast, if I use the "box" option instead of "bar" this doesn't happen. I tried changing the axis but the stata command just ignores my request to makes the legend smaller. Attached are the graphs for reference.
