Multiple graphs in one page

[Said Jafar]

Hello Statalist,

I need your assistance in producing a combined graph. I have data for 6 groups as below;

 

2010
2011
2012
2013

Group 1
100.8
87.45
94.93
106.05

Group 2
655.81
615.21
536
648.74

Group 3
420.73
355.94
383.81
508.72

Group 4
153.87
142.38
133.2
123.47

Group 5
109.12
174.18
106.02
96.36

Group 6
68.78
74.66
46.14
43.27

I would like to include multiple graphs in one page for my groups to save space in my paper. A graph as below would be ideal;

Where 2010-13 are years, and 100-600 are scores of each group in the given year.

I tried to do it with -graph- and -histogram- command but could not able to produce what i wanted. Would you please say how may i do so?

Kind Regards,
Dias

Whether you need to restructure your data first is an open question, as you don't really tell us anything about it.

Please do read and act on FAQ Advice #12. http://www.statalist.org/forums/help#stata

Dear NIck,

Thank you for your response.

I followed your recommendation and got a graph like this;

twoway bar score year, by(group)

There is one thing here; Even though i dont have year 2014 in my data, it is shown in the graph. Do you know how may i skip it and show bars for each year instead (2010,11,12,13)?

And there are two more things i needed that i had not noted in my post. Do you know how may i report simple average score for each group in the y axis of graphs?

And 400 is benchmark value for the groups: if they get more than 400, they get prizes in each year. Would it be possible to draw a horizontal line starting from 400 for each group? I did not find any reference for these in the -twoway graph- help file.

Kind Regards,
Dias

Here is some technique:

clear
input group year score
1 2010   200
1 2011   250
1 2012   300
1 2013   350
2 2010   400
2 2011   450
2 2012   500
2 2013   550
end
egen mean = mean(score), by(group)
twoway bar score year, by(group)  barw(0.95) base(0) || line mean year, xla(2010/2013) lcolor(blue) yli(400, lcolor(red))
