Values of what? The densities or the kernel estimates? 

This does densities. 

Syntax 

egen density = density(mpg) [, Width(#) by(varlist) STart(#)] 

*! NJC 1.0.0 28nov2003
program _gdensity 
	version 8
	gettoken type 0 : 0
	gettoken g 0 : 0
	gettoken eqs 0 : 0
	syntax varname(numeric) [if] [in] ///
		[, Width(numlist max=1 >0) BY(varlist) STart(numlist max=1)]

	if "`width'" == "" local width 1 
	
	tempvar ry     
	quietly {
		marksample touse
		if "`start'" == "" { 
			su `varlist' if `touse', meanonly 
			local start = r(min) 
		} 	
		gen double `ry' = ///
			`width' * floor((`varlist' - `start') / `width') 
		bysort `touse' `by' `ry' : gen `type' `g' = _N if `touse' 
		by `touse' `by' : replace `g' = `g' / (`width' * _N) 
	}
end
