Program is called -dpplot-. Go for the 2007 update. I think I would
usually prefer -gammafit- (SSC), -qgamma- (SSC) and -pgamma- (SSC).

        discusses use of density probability plots for determining
        the density function of a continuous variable, given a data
        sample; compares density probability plots with histograms,
        kernel density estimation, and quantile--quantile plots
