Plot graph of multiple categorical variables (with sub-categories) across outcome variable

[Sicily Kanyu]

Dear all,

If one has more than two categorical variables with two sub groups in each. I want to graph them over one binary outcome variable. To do so I tried using catplot from SSC. However, the use of the command over(yvar) . How can I do to this separately for each categorical variable. Ideally, I would like to have a single graph, where both categorical variables and their sub-categories appear as horizontal bars.

Is there a possibility of drawing these descriptive graphs without the use of graph combine?

Thanks.

You can restructure your data such that you have a group variable. Here is an example

sysuse auto, clear
set seed 2019
qui sum price, d
gen hiprice=price>r(p50)
qui sum mpg, d
gen himileage=mpg>r(p50)
rename (hiprice himileage) (cat#), addnumber(1)
reshape long cat, i(make) j(which)
label def which 1 "Price" 2 "Mileage"
label values which which
label def cat 1 "High" 0 "Low"
label values cat cat
catplot cat, over(foreign) over(which) scheme(s1mono)

In case some groups have more categories, add the -nofill- option to omit empty categories in those with less.

Thank you for your assistance, Andrew. The syntax worked out quite well.
