graph pie, over(occ7)
sort(occ7alpha)
Say that we wanted to sort the slices
(alphabetically) by occupation name.
We have created a new variable,
occ7alpha
, that is a recoded version of
occ7
. It is recoded such that, as
occ7alpha
goesfrom1to7,the
occupations are alphabetized (except
for Other, which is placed last). We
add
sort(occ7alpha)
, and the slices
are ordered alphabetically.

graph pie, over(occ7)
Consider this pie chart showing the
number of women who work in these
seven different occupations. The slices
are colored using the colors indicated
by the scheme. None of the slices are
exploded, and no lines surround the
slices.
