Abstract: splitvarlabels allows you to include variable labels in graphs on multiple lines produced directly or indirectly by graph bar, graph hbar or graph dot. It does so by splitting the variable labels into smaller pieces and returning those pieces in a form appropriate for specification as part of a graph command, typically with the ascategory option. A multiline format reduces how often variable labels overlap or are truncated. The variable labels themselves are unchanged.
