Drawing a bar graph with two categories and two variables out of a pivot table (tableau croisé)

[Aziz Essouaied]

Hello Stata people;

I'm using Stata 13.1 version, and I'm working with this small data:

* Example generated by -dataex-. To install: ssc install dataex
clear
input str12 Assets long(Average Median)
"Gross assets" 308000 172000
"Net assets"   266000 121000
end

It is a data showing distribution parameters (the average and the median) for two categorical variables (Gross assets and Net assets). The idea is to draw a bar graph which shows the average and the median for the first category at one side, and the average and the median for the second category at the other side, I also want to have the two bars of the average for the two categories in one color, and the two bars of the median for the same two categories in another color.

Any help please?

With many thanks!
