catplot command question (adding n=X on bars)

[Collin James]

Hi all,

I have some very simple code below. Is there a way that I can add an n=some number on each of the bars in my catplot? Thanks -CJ

catplot gender, percent ytitle(%) title(Gender of Children with Incarcerated Parents) graphregion(color(white))

As repeatedly advised previously, you need to state the provenance of community contributed commands (see FAQ Advice #12). catplot is from SSC, and is a wrapper for the official graph bar. With some effort, you can get what you want using the graph editor, but I will not illustrate that. Using your data from https://www.statalist.org/forums/for...-by-two-groups and the command provided by Nick Cox in #3, consider:
