Labels not showing on y-axis, catplot

[Lillian Ovedal Myrtveit]

Dear all,

I am using the catplot command, and want the labels to show on the y-axis. For some reason these labels won't show in the browse mode window, but appear in the "Manage variable label" window, so it seems like they have been applied. The code I have used is straight forward:

label define var 1 "Hospitalized", modify
label define var 0 "Not hospitalized", modify

When I use catplot the y-axis is labeled "0" and "1" instead of "Hospitalized" and "Not hospitalized". I cannot edit this manually in the Graph Editor either. The code I have used is

catplot Intervensjon month  var, percent(month Intervensjon) ///
asyvars bar(1, ) bar(2, color(eltgreen) )  ///
note("note")  legend(off) ///
ytitle("Percent")

Does anyone know why the labels are not showing in the browse mode window? Is there another way to label the y-axis using the catplot command?

Thanks,
Lillian

catplot is from SSC.

Please show a data example.

https://www.statalist.org/forums/help#stata explains both points.

Dear Nick,

I actually figured it out, but will provide a data example next time. For me labeling the variable before I used the command "reshape long" for panel data made it work, for some reason.

Thanks anyway,
Lillian
