It heavily relies upon the insights from Cleveland, 1985 and on the ggplot scheme for the statistical software R. {p 4 4 2} The scheme {cmd:plottigblind} relies upon the same design as {cmd:plottig} but instead uses 7 colors which are distinguishable for colorblind people and have been introduced in {cmd:plotplainblind}. {title:Remarks} {p 4 4 2} The schemes {cmd:plottig} and {cmd:plottigblind} have a gray background tinting; y-axis labels are horizontal; gridlines are white; gridlines are drawn for the x- and y-axis; gridlines are medium; x- and y-axis are not plotted; markers are medium; lines are medium; fonts of labels are medium; legends are not framed; legends appear on the right hand side of the figure; keylabels of legends are medium large; legends rely on rows first; intensity of pie- and bar figures is reduced to 50; borderlines of histograms and bar are thin; marker symbols are reordered to assure that points in scatters are less often overlapping. {p 4 4 2} On top of that, the scheme {cmd:plottigblind} introduces 14 new colors to stata. Inspiration for the colors comes from {browse "http://colorbrewer.org/"} and the ggplot package. Thus, they may be used like any other color in stata. E.g.: {p 8 16 2} {cmd:. line} {cmd:x} {cmd:y} {cmd:,} {cmdab:lcolor(plr1)} {p 4 4 2} The 14 colors are: {p 8 16 2} {cmd:plr1} {cmd:plr2} {cmd:plb1} {cmd:plb2} {cmd:plb3} {cmd:plg1} {cmd:plg2} {cmd:plg3} {cmd:pll1} {cmd:pll2} {cmd:pll3} {cmd:ply1} {cmd:ply2} {cmd:ply3} {p 4 4 2} More details on the schemes may be found in the working paper indicated below. {title:References} {p 4 8 2} Bischof, D. 2015.
