st: RE: graph hbar - different colors for different groups defined by an external variables

[Joe Canner <jcanner1@jhmi.edu>]

Alice,

Try:

. graph hbar yvar, over(geo) asyvars bar(1, color(black)) bar(2,color(gray)) bar(3,color(white))

Or were you hoping to have something more general that doesn't depend on knowing the ordering of the -geo-?

Subject: st: graph hbar - different colors for different groups defined by an external variables

Dear Statalists,

I was wondering if it would be possible to have different colors in a graph hbar for different groups. The groups are defined by an external variable.

In my dataset, I have the Italian regions. I want to plot them in a graph hbar, and I want to color the bars of the Northern regions in black, the bars of the Southern regions in gray, and the central regions in white. the external variable for the geographic ripartition of regions is called "geo".

Thank you for your time and help.

Best regards

Alice
