Dear Stata users,
I used Nick Cox's -slideplot- command (SSC) to draw some kind of bar plot. The author reminds us that -slideplot hbar- will make it easier to identify names or labels of categories, however, sometimes I prefer to use vertical displays with a classcial -bar- type. This choice naturally gives rise to problems that long value labels are displayed in a mess. So my question is when I insist on using -slideplot bar-, and the xaxis1 does not exist in the resulting plot, how can I modify the size or orientation of labels of the variable that used in the by-option. (Suppose that in this case I can't modify the value labels by shortening or abbreviating.) Thank you.
