Imagine I want to create a histogram for a variable such as job satisfaction with 5 levels.
histogram jobsatisfaction, discrete percent xlabel (1 "Completely satisfied" 2 "Satisfied"....etc
the idea is to plot the different bars for different levels of job satisfaction with different colors

Antonio,
I am not sure I understand your situation, but it sounds like instead of a histogram with 2 bars, you want a graph of proportions. Try -catplot- (Nick Cox, available from SSC), perhaps with the -asyvars- option to show different colors.
