bar

Save a bar chart for a categorical variable.

When to use

How are category counts distributed?

Nonmissing bars are ordered by descending count; ties use the category's native order and the missing category is always last when missing is requested. Numeric labels use numeric order rather than rendered text, and missing displays as <missing>.

If a literal category label is <missing>, it is disambiguated from the missing category in the chart.

Syntax

bar varname [, missing saving(path) noopen]

Examples

bar sex
