catplot, bar graph displayed vertical

[Larsen Inge]

Hi,
I'm creating stack bar graph with categorical var: beh_resultat (8 categories) stacked above the variable aar (6 categories)
Which works fine with the command, however I would like to display the graph as vertical and not horizontal (aar on the x-axis and % on the y-axis).

catplot beh_resultat aar, percent(aar) asyvars stack

Help is much appreciated, thanks

catplot is from SSC authored by Nick Cox. You are asked to identify user written commands, refer to the FAQs. Include the option

recast(bar)

Andrew is right. See also the help for catplot. Here are some extracts:

catplot catvar1 [catvar2 [catvar3]] [weight] [if exp] [in range] [ ,
{fraction|fraction(varlist)|percent|percent(varlis t)}
var1opts(over_options) var2opts(over_options) var3opts(over_options)
recast(plottype) graph_options ]

Optionally catplot may be recast as a wrapper for graph bar or graph dot.

recast() recasts the graph to another plottype, one of hbar, bar, dot. Note for experienced users:
although the name is suggested by another recast() option, this is not a back door to recasting to a
twoway plot.

    . catplot rep78, by(foreign) percent(foreign) recast(bar)

    . gen himpg = mpg > 25
    . label def himpg 1 "mpg > 25" 0 "mpg <= 25"
    . label val himpg himpg
    . catplot rep78 foreign, recast(bar) by(himpg, row(1) note("")) subtitle(, pos(6) ring(1) bcolor(none)
