How to change side of y-axis in histogram?

If I use the hist command without any specifications or options, I get a histogram, where the only y-axis is located on the right side. I searched the web for options to change it to the left side, but all I could find was about a second y-axis or the title of the axis.

If you run this script

sysuse auto, clear
set scheme s1color
hist mpg
hist mpg, ysc(alt)

you should see

  1. The default in which the y axis is on the left.

  2. An alternative in which it is on the right.

These are standard options for graph twoway documented from help hist under two_way_options, in turn under axis_options, axis_scale_options.

All the help you need is included with the Stata version you are using. Googling is inefficient here.
