✦ Synopsis
Two configurations (i.e., finite planar point sets) are said to be of the same order type, if there is a bijection between them which preserves orientations of triples of points. We show a Ramsey-type result about order types which yields that any configuration of a proper order type (in general position) determines l+1 distances whose ratios fall into prescribed intervals.

## Abstract We consider the problem of which graph invariants have a certain property relating to Ramsey's theorem. Invariants which have this property are called Ramsey functions. We examine properties of chains of graphs associated with Ramsey functions. Methods are developed which enable one to
