how to customize the location of legend

[Fred Lee]

I know the way of using position() to customize the location of legend, but sometimes the legend will overlap with the ylabel as shown in picture, so how to make the legend position lower?

Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!

Take a look at the -bmargin()- legend suboption. Perhaps something like:

twoway hist tenaciousGoalPursuit if group==2,percent fcolor(gs12) lcolor(gs12) bin(30) /// 
 || hist tenaciousGoalPursuit if group==1, percent fcolor(none) lcolor(black) bin(30)  /// 
 legend(ring(0) pos(2) cols(1) bmargin(t=5 r=5))

Take a look at the -bmargin()- legend suboption. Perhaps something like:

twoway hist tenaciousGoalPursuit if group==2,percent fcolor(gs12) lcolor(gs12) bin(30) ///
|| hist tenaciousGoalPursuit if group==1, percent fcolor(none) lcolor(black) bin(30) ///
legend(ring(0) pos(2) cols(1) bmargin(t=5 r=5))

Wow, It works! Thanks a lot!
