. set scheme s1rcolor [, permanently]
See [G] scheme_option and [G] set scheme.
Description
Schemes determine the overall look of a graph; see [G] schemes intro.
The s1 family of schemes is similar to the s2 family -- see [G] scheme s2
-- except that s1 uses a plain background, meaning that no tint is
applied to any part of the background.
Remarks
s1 is a conservative family of schemes that some people prefer to s2.
Of special interest is s1rcolor, which displays graphs on a black
background. Because of pixel bleeding, monitors have higher resolution
when backgrounds are black rather than white. Also, many users
experience less eye strain viewing graphs on a monitor when the
background is black. Scheme s1rcolor looks good when printed, but other
schemes look better.
Schemes s1color and s1mono are derived from s1rcolor. Either of these
schemes will deliver a better printed result. The important difference
between s1color and s1mono is that s1color uses solid lines of different
colors to connect points, whereas s1mono varies the line-pattern style.
Scheme s1manual is used in some of the Stata manuals, although it is not
used in this one. s1manual is the same as s1mono but presents graphs at
a smaller overall size.
