Figure horizontal time line with bars

[Stefan Legge]

Dear Stata community

This is my first post here, so maybe I'll say something first: I've gotten numerous very useful hints here and like to thank all for their help!

For one question, though, I could not find a solution. I like to create a horizontal stacked bar chart (maybe using the function graph hbar ... , stack) for a timeline to obtain a figure like this (the upper part only):

Notice that for each country, years are either colored or not colored. In the example figure mentioned above it is done for wars but I want to do it with recessions and for a select group of countries.

Here is a sample code to create a basic data set:

clear
input float(year country_id recession)
2009 101 1
2010 101 0
2011 101 0
2012 101 1
2013 101 0
2014 101 0
2015 101 0
2009 102 1
2010 102 0
2011 102 0
2012 102 1
2013 102 0
2014 102 0
2015 102 1
end

Perhaps someone has created the kind of chart I'm looking for and can help me out?

Thanks a lot!
