data label inside plot region

[Paula de Souza Leao Spinola]

Dear all,
Is there a way to make sure that the data labels above the bars are inside the white plot region?

The command I used to generate the graph was

graph bar percap_total1 percap_total2 percap_total3 percap_total4 percap_total5 ///
percap_total6 percap_total7 percap_total8 percap_total9 if year==2015 & selection==1, ///
over(location, label(angle(90) labsize(small)) sort(percap_total) descending) ///
ytitle("") yscale(off) blabel(total, orientation(vertical) size(small) format(%9.0f)) legend(off) nofill ///
bar(1, bcolor(blue*1.3)) bar(2, bcolor(red*1.2)) bar(3, bcolor(black)) bar(4, bcolor(black)) bar(5, bcolor(black)) ///
bar(6, bcolor(black)) bar(7, bcolor(black)) bar(8, bcolor(black)) bar(9, bcolor(black)) ///
ysize(9) xsize(18)

s2scheme is the default scheme for graphs in Stata. You can look at help scheme for different selections. To have a white background, simply add

 graphregion(color(white))

Actually I would not like to change the colors. I would like to have the background with a light blue color and the pot region with a white color.

Instead of changing the background color to white, I would like to make the background region smaller (by making the xlabels start all the way from the bottom) and the plot region wider. Is it possible?

Many thanks

Include the ylabel() option specifying a value that is beyond the data range, e.g.,

yla(10300)
