Description

Schemes determine the overall look of a graph; see [G] schemes intro.

Scheme economist specifies a look similar to that used by The Economist magazine.

Remarks

The Economist magazine (http://www.economist.com) uses a unique and clean graphics style that is both worthy of emulation and different enough from the usual to provide an excellent example of just how much difference the scheme can make.

Among other things, The Economist puts the y axis on the right rather than on the left of scatterplots.
