graph hbar ttl exp tenure, over(married) over(urban2)
by(union, cols(1) note("")
legend(position(3))
)
We add the
legend(position(3))
option to put the legend at the right.
Note that this is contained within the
by()
option because it changes the
position of the legend. If we could make
the legend narrow (instead of wide), it
would work well in this position.

graph hbar ttl exp tenure, over(married) over(urban2)
by(union, cols(1) note("") legend(position(3)))
legend(cols(1) stack label(1 "Tot Exp") label(2 "Curr Exp"))
We add the
legend(cols(1) stack)
to make the legend narrow and the
label()
option to change the labels in
the legend. Note that this
legend()
option appears outside of the
by()
option. See
Options : By
(272) and
Options : Legend
(287) for more
information about the interactions of
by()
and
legend()
.

subtitle(, position(5) ring(0) nobexpand)
We can add the
subtitle()
option to
position the title for each separate
graph in the lower right corner. The
position(5)
option puts the title in
the 5 o'clock position, and the
ring(0)
option puts the title inside the plot
area. The
nobexpand
(no box expand)
option keeps the title from expanding
to fill the entire plot area.
