FLOATPLOT: Stata module to draw Floating or sliding stacked bar plot

Nicholas Cox

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: floatplot produces a floating or sliding stacked bar plot showing percents (or optionally proportions or frequencies) of categories of a numeric outcome variable numvar by zero, one, or two other categorical variables. The plot is most helpful if categories of an outcome variable have a natural or conventional pre-defined order. Although there is no formal check, the design of the plot tacitly assumes a modest number of distinct categories, say between 2 and 9. The commmand is a wrapper for a call to twoway rbar for showing bars and twoway scatter for showing text.
