Is there a way to move the x-axis upwards by editing a Stata graph scheme?

Is there a way to change Stata graph themes such that the x-axis coincides with the 0 of the y-axis (so there's no grid line for the 0, just a solid x-axis line)? (Moving the y-axis upwards from the graph example picture attached.) Trying to create a scheme but struggling to find an option which would do this. Stata graph using the default graph theme

You can play around with scheme settings, or you can just note that this is tuneable directly with an option. Consider

sysuse auto, clear
scatter trunk weight, plotregion(margin(b=0)) yla(0(5)25)

By the way, it's a matter of taste, but many people, especially in the snarkier tail of economics, sneer at those using the default s2color scheme, with its tell-tale choice of a blue backdrop. If you like it, well and good, but I'd recommend almost anything else. s1color is a simple alternative.

Note: schemes not themes. Themes is the same broad idea introduced later in R, if I understand correctly.
