Re: twoway bar [was: Re: st: Features for Stata 14]

Hi Scott, and many thanks.Now it looks much better.

Let me try to clarify again the second question:

The current graph displays 6 bars (two bars for each index category 1, 2 and 3):

For each category the thick (blue) bar is red_proj; and the thin
(pink) bar is the months. Also the latter bar is inside the area of
the former.

I would not like to have one bar inside the other - but rather - the
two bars (pink and blue for each category) adjacent to each other. I
would also like to have the same thickness for both adjacent bars.

Is it possible to shape the graph based on these requirements?
