"copying" and erasing the x-axis

[Paula de Souza Leao Spinola]

I am trying to bring the x-axis at the 0 level.
I managed to have a horizontal line at the 0 level using the option

 yline(0, lcolor(black))

I would like to make it have exactly the same format as the real x-axis and then erase the x-axis. Does anyone know how to do so?
Many thanks

I tried the option below but Stata tells me xaxis1 does not exist. I do not understand the problem once I do have an x-axis. Could anyone please help me out?

xscale(noline)

Entire code:

. graph bar av_percap_pri1 av_percap_pri2 av_percap_pri3 av_percap_pri4 ///
> av_percap_pri5 av_percap_pri6 av_percap_pri7 av_percap_pri8 av_percap_pri9 ///
> av_percap_pri10 av_percap_pri11  if selection==1, nofill ///
> over(location, label(angle(90) labsize(small)) sort(av_percap_pri) descending) ///
> ytitle("") yscale(off) ylab(, nogrid) ///
> blabel(total, orientation(vertical) size(small) format(%9.1f)) ///
> bar(1, bcolor(blue*1.3)) bar(2, bcolor(red*1.2)) bar(3, bcolor(black)) ///

xscale(noline) not allowed, xaxis1 does not exist
r(198);

In your graph bar command, you have a y axis and a categorical axis (not x axis). So you want

 over(location, axis(noline) label(angle(90) labsize(small)) sort(av_percap_pri) descending)

Apart from removing the categorical axis line, I don't see what much else you can do. The labels will stay at the same position.
