Re: st: Histogram plot with frequency percentage and number of cases

[Nick Cox <njcoxstata@gmail.com>]

This also works, for "different values of 32".

sysuse auto, clear
bysort rep78 : gen freq = _N
count if rep78 < .
local total = r(N)
gen mylabel = string(freq) + "   (" + string(100 * freq / `total' ,
"%2.1f") + ("%)")
twoway bar freq rep78, barw(0.9) || scatter freq rep78 , ms(i)
mla(mylabel) mlabpos(12) ysc(r(. 32) off) legend(off)
