st: Graphic displays or results from margins

I am warming up to the new margins command. However, unlike the
older adjust command, margins does not include the ability to
generate new variables. I am therefore finding it hard to create
graphic displays of the results.
Consider the following:
webuse nhanes2f, clear
logit diabetes i.black i.female age i.female#c.age, nolog
margins female#black, at(age = (20(10)70))
I would love to create a graphic where the Y axis was the probability
of diabetes, the X axis was age, and there were 4 separate lines, for
black males, black females, nonblack males, nonblack females. I
imagine I could generate variables myself (basically replicating what
margins is doing) or (ugh!) cut and paste results into an excel
spreadsheet. But, is there some nice, simple approach for doing this?
The prgen command in Long & Freese's spost9 suite of commands can do
things like this, but it doesn't support many of the features of
margins, e.g. it doesn't work with factor variables, and things like
interaction terms are going to confuse it.
