Creating graph by percent

[Marcus Eklund]

Hi,

I have the following survey variabels: 1. Schooling attitudes 2. Gender. 3. Years

I would like to make a graph showing how big share among women and men that answered the third alternative in schooling attitudes over all the years that the question has been asked. I can of course do it manually, just simple "tab gender schoolingattidues, row" and look at each year seperately but I'm sure there is a much easier way.

No data example, and I have to make some guesses about what you want. But this may help.

* 2 genders, 3 attitudes, 4 years 
clear 
set obs 240
set seed 2803
set scheme s1color 

gen female = _n > 120 
label def female 0 male 1 female 
label val female female 
egen year = seq(), from(2018) to(2021) block(30)
gen attitude = runiform()
replace attitud e = cond(attitude < 0.2, 1, cond(attitude < 0.5, 2, 3))

egen toshow = mean(100 * (attitude == 3)), by(female year)

separate toshow, by(female) veryshortlabel 

twoway connected toshow? year, ytitle(% with attitude 3) lc(blue orange) mc(blue orange) note(C.S. Peirce wrote about thirdness) xtitle("")
