st: Rectifying y-axis labels using a tiny .scheme

For years I have been carefully writing
ylabel(,angle(0)
to ensure that the numbers on the vertical axis of graphs are written horizontally rather than vertically, which is the Stata default.
Recently I came across Vince Wiggins' presentation on writing your own graph schemes, and lo and behold the answer was there.
A tiny scheme file (in my case called rcs2color.scheme) as follows
#include s2color
anglestyle vertical_tick horizontal
This makes just one change to the s2color scheme, and now my axes can be read without twisting my neck.
I can only recommend Vince's presentation: http://econpapers.repec.org/paper/bocusug06/11.htm
