-help xtlogit postestimation- will show you what is available.  There are no
canned routines to graph predicted probabilities after -xtlogit-, though it
is not too hard to roll you own:

//Prob of domestic car given different values of weight and mpg
//gear_ratio at mean
sysuse auto, clear
qui {
xtlogit fore mpg gear weight, i(rep) re 
preserve
sum weight
local min = r(min)
local max = r(max)
collapse (mean) gear mpg
range weight `min' `max' `=`max' - `min' +1'
replace gear = gear[1]
forv i = 15(5)30 {
	replace mpg = `i'
	predict prob`i' ,pu0
}
}
twoway line prob* weight,  legend(off) 
restore
