Creating a graph containing another smaller graph

[Laura Leone]

Dear Statalists,

Can you give me some advice about how to create a combination of graphs looking like the one attached (a bigger graph with a smaller graph "inside") in Stata? I am trying with graph combine, but it does not seem to be made for more "unusual" graphs combinations..

Thank you in advance!

Yes, but not directly. Using the Graph Editor option to determine the graph position offsets.

sysuse auto,clear
graph bar weight, over(rep) name(gr1,replace) ylabel(0(1000)5000)
graph pie price, over(foreign) fxsize(30) fysize(30) name(gr2,replace) /// 
 legend(size(*.75) pos(6) row(1) region(color(none)))  /// 
 title(Price by Car Origin, size(*.75) pos(12)) /// 
 pie(1, color("207 225 28")  ) /// 
 pie(2, color("33 144 140")  ) /// 
 graphregion(color(none) margin(zero)) /// 
 plotregion(color(none) margin(zero))
graph combine gr1 gr2, title(Weight by Repair Record)
gr_edit plotregion1.graph2.xoffset = -27
gr_edit plotregion1.graph2.yoffset = 30

Thank you very much, Scott!
