Finally, in
Bar : Cat axis
(123), we see
that we can add the
label(angle(45))
option to the
over()
option to specify
that labels for that variable be shown
at a 45-degree angle so they do not
overlap each other.

This section has shown that it is not that dicult to create a complex graph by building
it one step at a time. You can use the resources in this topic to seek out each piece of
information you need and then put those pieces together the way you want to create your
own graphs. For more information about how to integrate options to create complex Stata
graphs, see
Appendix : More examples
(366).
