-graph combine- on different graphs will do this in principle, but in
practice there will be more scaffolding than you might want.
Rather, a better approach is to fool Stata into seeing the data as you
want it to see them. That means in practice changing the data
temporarily.
sysuse auto, clear
gen order = _n
expand 3
bysort order : gen which = _n
drop if which == 1 & price > 5000
drop if which == 2 & price > 10000
label def which 1 "<= $5000" 2 "<= $10000" 3 "all"
label val which which
graph box mpg, over(which) over(foreign)
