Labeling the X var of a horizontal bar graph

[Giorgio Piccitto]

Hi everyone!
I am struggling with an apparently easy command. I should label the categories of my X axes (that is on the left, with cats. 1,2, 3, etc.). Attached the graph.
The command I used was

tw ///
(bar v2 sett, hor ) (bar v1 sett, hor ), ///
xlabel (0(0.1)1.0) ///
ylabel (1(1)9) ///
legend(order(1 "Uomini" 2 "Donne")) ///
title("Distribuzione di genere per settore professionale") ///
ytitle("") ///
note("", span) ///
scheme(s1mono)

I tried to manage it with the Stata help, but I did not succeed.
Someone can help me?

Thanks a lot, G.

You don't have to use twoway bar.

graph hbar v1 v2, over(sett) stack

The command above is a guess because I don't have your data. I assume that the values of the variable sett have labels.

For more concrete advice, please share an excerpt from your data with the dataex package (described in section 12 of the FAQ).

Dear Friedrich, thanks a lot, your command worked perfectly.

Why I have not to use the twoway in this case?

I would like also to ask you something else: now I have the attached graph, but I need to put the labels in the range of the graph (if you see, the end and the begininnig of some of the labels does not appear --> see: "ustria, estrazione, manifattu" instead of "industria, estrazione, manifattura".

Do you know how to solve this problem?

Thanks a lot, G. Graph2.gph
