Dear Stata users,

Context : I want to display the industry distribution within 3 age categories (relative to total employment in each age category), and show this for men and women in a combined way (left and right hand side).
My problem is the following: the y-axis labels are repeated and eat up a lot of space.
My objective: ideally, deleting these labels on the right-hand side plot only.

What I have done: I have almost successfully used catplot, either in combination with graph combine, or with the by() option. However, in either versions, I would like to delete the repeated y-axis labels of the right-hand side graph, that unnecessarily eat up a lot of space (in my opinion).

Code:
ssc install catplot
ssc install tabplot
ssc install grc1leg

** OPTION 1

#delimit ;
catplot agecat industry if gender==1,
    percent(agecat)
    var1opts(label(nolabels))  
    graphregion(color(white))  
    l1title("") title("Men")
    legend(label(1 "18-34") label(2 "35-59  ") label(3 "60-64  "))
    asyvars bar(1, color(gs14)) bar(2, color(gs8)) bar(3, color(gs3))  saving("$fgs/part1.gph", replace)  ;
#delimit cr

#delimit ;
catplot agecat industry if gender==2,
    percent(agecat)
    var1opts(label(nolabels))  
    graphregion(color(white))  
    l1title("") title("Women")
    legend(label(1 "18-34") label(2 "35-59  ") label(3 "60-64  "))
    asyvars
    bar(1, color(gs14)) bar(2, color(gs8)) bar(3, color(gs3)) saving("part2.gph", replace) ;
#delimit cr

grc1leg "part1" "part2", graphregion(color(white))
output :
Array
Code:
** OPTION 2

#delimit ;
catplot agecat industry ,
    percent(agecat gender)
    by(gender, style(combine) graphregion(color(white)) plotregion(color(white)))
    var1opts(label(nolabels))  
    graphregion(color(white))
    asyvars
    bar(1, color(gs14)) bar(2, color(gs8)) bar(3, color(gs3))
    legend(label(1 "18-34") label(2 "35-59") label(3 "60-64")) ;
#delimit cr
output :
Array

What I have also tried: After reading a few Stata list posts (and notably a recent suggestion here: https://www.statalist.org/forums/for...ts-for-catplot) I have tried turning to tabplot, and that successfully took care of the y-axis labels problem; but another problem has arisen, which is that I am unable to display the relevant horizontal bars next to each other.

Code:
#delimit ;
tabplot industry agecat,
    percent(agecat gender)
    by(gender, graphregion(color(white)) plotregion(color(white)) ) subtitle(,fcolor(white) bcolor(white))
    graphregion(color(white))
    horizontal
    separate(agecat) bar1(color(gs14)) bar2(color(gs8)) bar3(color(gs3))
    ytitle("")
    xtitle("Age categories")
    xlabel(1 "18-34" 2 "35-59  " 3 "60-64  ")
    legend(label(1 "18-34") label(2 "35-59") label(3 "60-64")) ;
#delimit cr
output :
Array

Would you be able to help? I hope the desired output is clear: similar to the catplot output, without the y-labels on the right-hand side plot.

A working data example is below. To reduce the total size of the post I have restricted it to 100 obs, the real data much larger data (the 100 sample size makes the distribution very noisy and somewhat weird, but the problem remains the same - ylabels).

With my deepest gratitude,

Paul
