st: histogram, read axes

I was wondering if there are any easy way to read the histogram that
state created. Specially, I would to know exactly what bins were created and how many observations are in each bin. After drawing the histogram, I thought I would be able to see this information using some "return" type of command, but clearly that does not seem to be the case. I looked at the manual but did not see any such commands either. I looked at the STATA listserv and I was surprised to see that this issue has not arisen before. * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/ |

Thanks. That does exactly what I asked for, but the command "byhist"
does not allow two options that I was using. First, I was using the option "by(var1 var2)" and byhist seem to only allow "by(var1)." Second, I was using the option "scheme(s2mono)" which byhist does not allow.

Line for the server...
Or, better still, toss it into the call to -byhist- within its -tw()- option so the -scheme- gets passed through...

How about this?

Thank you so much. It is different from my original graphs, but it may
be better. I will have to play around with it.

Thanks, although the option "by()" is not allowed with

Richard Boylan <[hidden email]>:
If you want to loop over values and run -twoway__histogram_gen- for each distinct value, you can use -levelsof- and -foreach-. -byhist- on SSC uses the "total" category to pick bins using -twoway__histogram_gen-, i.e. it uses the marginal distribution across all by() groups. In general, if you are comparing histograms it is advantageous to use a common bin specification IMHO.
