Using HBOX to create box plot - changing the titles of each box by assigning a different variable to the name

[Joe Korkey]

I am using the following HBOX code and do HBOX by ID. It provides the ID number for each box but i want it to instead list a name that does not vary within ID and is unique to each ID that I have stored as a variable where it currently has the ID number. How do I do that? Here is my code:

graph hbox effect if effect < `ubound' & effect > `lbound' & D < 51, over(ID) xsize(7) ysize(8) scale(0.6) yline(`m', lpattern(solid)) saving(_authors, replace)
Basically. I want it to make the HBOX boxplot figure where instead of having ID 1-50 as the labels for each box it instead has the stored name I have.
That is, instead of

ID;
1
2
3
...

on the left of the box plot I want

Name1
Name2
Name3

Where I have the names of each ID stored in the string variable Name but i base the plot over ID.

Can someone please help?

If I understand this correctly, you can get what you want by assigning value labels. Here is a reproducible example.

. sysuse auto, clear
(1978 automobile data)

. graph hbox mpg, over(rep78)

. label def rep78 1 poor 2 adequate

. label val rep78 rep78

. graph hbox mpg, over(rep78)
