The scale option is very useful. Still it would be nice if it were
possible to choose between absolute and relative sizes when designing
Stata schemes. The scale option does require a little trial and error
to get the precise appearance that one is looking for.

I am writing a manuscript with a large number of figures. These figures
vary greatly in size and complexity. I would like to define my Stata
scheme in such a way that the point size of text remains fairly constant
regardless of the size of the graph. The scheme command
gsize axis_title medium
creates an axis title that maintains a constant relative size: If I
double the size of the graph, I double the size of my axis title. Is
there any way that I can set the point size to, say, 9 point regardless
of the absolute size of the graph?

I don't think it can be done automatically, but I found the scale()
option very useful to obtain reasonably sized markers and texts. See [G]
scale_option.
