How to slim the bar in a bar graph

[Alex Read]

Hi Collective,

I have a rather simple question. I was trying to organize a panel of bar graphs. For the sake of aesthetics, I would like to slim one of the bars so that it has the same size as the others in the panel. I tried searching the net and Stata documentation but no luck.

I show a snippet of my code below.

Thanks,

graph bar mu1 , over(morb1a)
ysc(r(0 1))
blabel(bar, position(inside) format(%9.3f) color(white))
ytitle(" ")
title("HS")

If you make the gaps bigger, then the bars become smaller.

This example is reproducible. The suboption gap() is documented: go to the help for graph bar and click on over_subopts

sysuse auto, clear
graph hbar (mean) mpg , over(rep78)
graph hbar (mean) mpg , over(rep78, gap(*2))
graph hbar (mean) mpg , over(rep78, gap(*20))

Perfect, thank you!
