twoway (bar malmil agegrp,
horizontal
) (bar femmil agegrp,
horizontal
)
Adding the
horizontal
option to each
bar chart, we can see the graph taking
shape. However, we would like the age
categories to appear inside of the red
(female) bars.

twoway (bar malmil agegrp, horizontal) (bar femmil agegrp, horizontal)
(scatter agegrp zero, msymbol(i) mlabel(agegrp) mlabcolor(black))
This
scatter
command uses
agegrp
(ranging from 1-17) as the
y
-value and
80 to 84
-value, leading to the
stack of 17 observations. Using the
msymbol(i)
and
mlabel()
options
suppresses the symbol but displays the
name of the age group from the labeled
value of
agegrp
. Next, we will fix the
label and title for the
