Description

    Schemes determine the overall look of a graph; see help for schemes.

    rbn1mono is Roger Newson's original personal default scheme.  It
    specifies a minimal and photocopier-friendly black-and-white look, with
    gray background lines and minimal gray shading.  It is slightly more
    minimal and photocopier-friendly than s1mono (which is its mother
    scheme), and slightly less minimal and photocopier-friendly than Svend
    Juul's lean schemes (which can be downloaded in their latest form using
    the findit command).  The plot area is framed as in the schemes s1color
    and s1mono.  The axis labels use value labels if these exist, and are
    perpendicular to the corresponding axis, so that they occupy an amount of
    space on the axis that depends on the axis label font and not on the axis
    label values.  The default by-graph style is compact, to avoid wasting
    space.  The default number of columns in a legend is 1, to enable long
    and explicit labels.  Any of these defaults can be overridden by the
    user.

    rbn2mono is Roger Newson's second personal default scheme.  It is an
    alternative version of rbn1mono, without the default scaling of text
    sizes, marker sizes and line widths used for by graphs, graph combine and
    graph matrix.  If the scheme rbn2mono is used, then these text sizes,
    marker sizes and line widths are the same, whether or not the user uses
    by graphs, graph combine and graph matrix.  The scheme rbn1mono inherits
    the scaling regime of s1mono when by graphs, graph combine and/or graph
    matrix are used.  This policy involves some complicated formulas, which
    may make it less easy for the user to estimate the correct relative size
    suboptions to specify.  For technical details of these formulas, see help
    for scaling for by graphs, graph combine, and graph matrix.
