pie
. For this section, we will use the

scheme.
graph pie, over(occ7)
plabel( all sum)
Consider this pie chart showing the
number of women who work in these
seven different occupations. Here, we
use the
plabel()
(pie label) option to
label all slices with the sum, in this
case the frequency of women who work
in each occupation. Notice how
readable the labels are because of the
pale colors of the pie slices selected by
the
vg past
scheme. Other schemes
with more intense colors would have
made these labels hard to read.
