AW: st: Catplot (ssc) labelsize in scheme? Stata 11

["Kaulisch, Marc" <kaulisch@forschungsinfo.de>]

Nick,

I can change the value of gsize label from vsmall or huge, but everytime the labsize in the graph medsmall. My scheme is a modification of s2color.

Changing labsize manually under var2opts works perfectly...

My code uses the following options:
percent stack asyvars scheme l1title legend and ytitle
I cannot see why these would intervene into the scheme...

Puzzled...

Marc

Find

scheme-s2color.scheme

and the line

gsize label medsmall

My programming skills are zero but in the catplot.ado I cannot find a specification of labsize; so in contrast to my earlier question, I think I am able to control the labelsize in a scheme. But where?
