Re: st: Catplot for three variables on same graph

Your question here appears to centre on how to get your data in shape
for a graph, not the details of using -catplot- (a user-written
command from SSC, as you are asked to explain).

But t's not obvious that you need to -reshape- at all.

catplot education region urban

is but one of several legal commands, with modifications for your
exact variable names.
