Fracplot "plots the data and fit, with 95% confidence limits, from the most recently fitted fractional polynomial model."

I am using gamma regression with identity link, and what it plots as "data" is
yv = etahat + dr
(I am omitting lots of macro quotes here), where
dr = sign(y-mu)*sqrt(drsq)
and the squared deviance residuals are
drsq = -2*(ln(y/mu) - (y-mu)/mu)

I am puzzled because then dr is dimensionless, whereas I would like it to be in Y units, as etahat is (identity link, remember). I am getting plots with "data" much too close to the fitted curve, because my mu>>1. How can I fix this and get plots that look like the data?

An alternative (in my particular case) would be to plot
yv = mu + mu*dr
I can force this by tinkering inside the ado files, but is there a better, and more general, way? And does "mu*dr" have a name?
