Vince Wiggins gave a talk titled "Scheming your way to consistent
graphs" at the UK Stata Users' Group Meeting in 2006 that might be

Ps. Stata Users' Group Meetings are a great way of picking up tips and
tricks, and a way to meet some of the persons you only know as an email
adress on statalist. The next meeting is on Saturday March 29 in
Warsaw. Other upcomming meetings are announced here:
http://www.stata.com/meeting/ (and ofcourse on the statalist).
