We have seen a variety of ways that you can use the
blabel()
option to label the bars.
In addition, Stata offers a variety of options you can use to control the display of these
labels. Below, we will consider some of these options that allow you to customize the way
these labels are displayed. These example begin using the
vg palec
scheme.
graph hbar hours, over(occ7, label(nolabels)) blabel(group)
Consider this graph of the average
hours worked by occupation. We add
l
a
bels of the occupation at the top of
each bar but suppress the label at the
bottom of each bar. The label for the
second bar runs off the right of the
graph. Fortunately, Stata offers us a
number of options to control where
these labels are displayed.
