Re: st: Stata 11.1 on Mac breaking user-written commands?

[Ronan Conroy <rconroy@rcsi.ie>]

Curiouser and curiouser... Fortune ate two of my sausages at once!

1. I had installed the graph schemes from "A visual guide to Stata  
graphics" and was using one of them.
Reverting to Stata's own schemes overcame the 'option plotregion1'  
error. All the schemes supplied with Stata work fine.
2. I was, on the same day, bitten by a feature of proprcspline, which  
is that the default label length is 20. One of my labels was 21  
characters. Rewriting the command as
. proprcspline worry age, by(sex) lablength(all)

overcame this problem.

I might suggest to Maarten, however, that "all" seems like a sensible  
default, rather than 20.
Many thanks to everyone who tried and ran code!
