Dear Stata users,
The bar plot is frequently used in daily practice. Suppose that I have several categorical variables in my dataset, and I want to show frequencies or percents of these variables using bar plot. The -graph bar- will fail in this case. And the user-written command -fbar- (by Nick Cox in 2001.06.19) can do some work, i.e. it can show frequencies of one categorical variable one at a time. Is there some command can do this work and simultaneously show frequencies or percents of several categorical variables? Thank you.
