Subject   st: Line break in a character string for a bar chart label
Date   Tue, 30 Jul 2013 16:35:31 -0400

Hi,

I created a horizontal bar chart of magazine readership. The labels for each bar are combinations of the magazines. Unfortunately, some labels are too long (too many magazines for a bar) and are cut-off or they just don't look nice. I'd like to insert a line break in the character strings so that the labels would appear on two (or more) lines. Some programming languages, such as R, use "\n" to break a line. Does Stata (13 for Windows) have something like this? Or is there a way to tell Stata to wrap a line?

Thanks,

Walt
