Graph hbar with staplot

[Pythagore Donfouet]

Hello everyone,

I am having a problem with -staplot-

I would like to produce the figure attached. In the y-axis, we have the different indicators (the variable is called "indicateurs") and each indicator is displayed in the group (the variable is called "dimensions") that it belongs to. In the x-axis, we have the percentage of the indicator (the variable is called "pourcentage"). In the data can be found below:

My data look like this:

"Nutrition" "Retard de croissance modéré" 37.76 1

"Eau et assainissement" "Accès à une source d'eau améliorée" 39.96 1
"Eau et assainissement" "Accès à l'assainissement amélioré" 87.57 1
"Habitation" "Structure du logement" 92.4 1
"Habitation" "Promiscuité" 28.28 1
"Habitation" "Accès à l’électricité" 93.25 1
end


I had typed the following command :

catplot indicateurs dimensions , percent( pourcentage) var1opts(label(ang(45)))


But it is so messy and not close to the attached Figure done in Excel.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.


Thank you in advance!

What is staplot and what does it have to do with the question?

As for catplot, that's my command from SSC and if you prefer your graph from MS Excel, that's fine by me. Emulating MS Excel is not my game and in any case Excel does a great job at that. I don't willingly recommend ang(45) in any case.

Dear Nick,

Sorry for the confusion. I wanted to say -catplot-. The problem is that when you have several figures, doing this in Excel is time-consuming. In my case, I have several figures and I would like to save time and do it in Stata with your command -catplot-

Please any suggestion on how to do it with -catplot-?

Thanks

Looking at it more closely, catplot really doesn't seem to apply.

That's not great but you could make progress

1. Shortening some text.

2. Accepting some rounding of percents, or omitting that altogether.

Dear Nick,

Thanks a lot. This works well.

I am so grateful
