How to add another variable as a label above stacked bar chart

[Ruki EC]

Hi,

First, I want to say that I don't have a good english. So,if something is not understood I can explain it again

Well, I have some problems with graphs bars in Stata. I want to add another variable as a label above stacked bar chart. I found this link https://www.stata.com/statalist/arch.../msg00911.html but that data base is not acording with mine. "Dpto" is my binary var and "g_L1" my combination of my two categories ("D" and "N"). "Total" is the percentage that I want to show in my stacked bar chart, and I would like to add the var "NV" above stacked bar chart.

g_L1	Dpto	Total	NV
Level1	D	20	500
Level1	D	20	500
Level1	D	20	500
Level1	D	20	500
Level1	N	33	1000
Level1	N	33	1000
Level1	N	33	1000
Level2	D	45	500
Level2	D	45	500
Level2	N	53	1000
Level2	N	53	1000
Level2	N	53	1000
Level2	N	53	1000
Level3	D	35	500
Level3	D	35	500
Level3	N	14	1000
Level3	N	14	1000
Level3	N	14	1000

When I just considered the first three vars (g_L1", "Dpto" and "Total") I run the next sintaxis and it really works, but I want to incorporate the new var "NV" above the chart
and I don't know how to do it


splitvallabels g_L1
graph bar Total, ///
over(g_L1, label(labsize(small)) relabel(`r(relabel)')) ///
over(Dpto,label(labsize(small))) ///
ytitle("Categories", size(small)) ///
title("Results" ///
,span size(medium)) ///
blabel(bar, pos(center) format(%4.0f)) ///
intensity(25)///
asyvars stack


I hope your help.



Thanks,
S.

Hi,
I'm not sure whether you want to add a label over the graph or over every bar. For the first one, just type in the options of your -graph bar- :

subtitle("this is my label")

For the second one, you can always add text on the graph itself using this option :

text(y x "this is my label")

and by replacing x and y by your coordinates on the graph. There is also a plethora of options to this command, don't forget to check the help file.

Hi! Thanks for your answer


Yes! I want to add a label, but from other var, which is "NV". I think I should use the command "twoway" because I would use another var.
