Using custom schemes when using repado

The recommended installation location for custom schemes is the PERSONAL folder. If you are using repado in nostrict mode, then this is not an issue as the PERSONAL folder is still accessible. However, if you are using repado in strict mode, then the PERSONAL folder is no longer accessible. In this case we recommend installing the custom schemes in the folder used in the adopath() option.

A simple implementation is as follows:

  global myproject "/path/to/project/"
  repado , adopath("${myproject}/ado") mode(strict)

  local url "https://github.com/graykimbrough/uncluttered-stata-graphs/raw/master/schemes/scheme-uncluttered.scheme" 
  copy "`url" "${myproject}/ado/scheme-uncluttered.scheme" , replace

  set scheme uncluttered , perm
  graph set eps fontface "Helvetica"

  sysuse auto, clear
  scatter price mpg

This means that, by installing the project’s scheme in the project-specific ado-folder, you will ensure that all project members and replicators are guaranteed exactly-matching outputs.
