["Newson, Roger B" <r.newson@imperial.ac.uk>]

Thanks to Kit Baum, a new version of the package scheme_rbn1mono
(described as below on my website) is now available for download from
SSC. In Stata, use the -ssc- command to do this.

In the new version, -rbn1mono- has a daughter scheme, named -rbn2mono-,
which switches off the automatic down-scaling of line thicknesses,
marker symbol sizes and text sizes used with by-graphs, -graph combine-
and -graph matrix-. This is intended to make it easier for users to
calculate the right relative sizes to specify for these objects as
options and suboptions. See the online help under -help relativesize- to
find more about relative sizes in Stata graphs.

Best wishes

Roger

TITLE
      rbn1mono: Minimal monochrome graphics schemes

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)
      rbn1mono contains Roger Newson's default graphics schemes.
      The scheme rbn1mono specifies a minimal and photocopier-friendly
      black-and-white look, with gray background lines and minimal gray
      shading.  It is slightly more minimal and photocopier-friendly
than
      s1mono (which is its mother scheme), and slightly less minimal and
      photocopier-friendly than Svend Juul's lean schemes (which can be
      downloaded in their latest form using the findit command).
      The package rbn1mono now includes a second scheme rbn2mono,
      which is an alternative version of rbn1mono which does not alter
      text sizes, marker sizes and line widths when by graphs and/or
      graph combine and/or graph matrix are used.
