*--------------------------- begin example ---------------------------
clear
set obs 100
gen x = rnormal(60,2)
gen y = rnormal(40,5)
cumul x, gen(cx)
cumul y, gen(cy)

twoway function y = normal((x - 60)/2), range(20 90) || ///
       function y = normal((x - 40)/5), range(20 90) || ///
       scatter cx x || scatter cy y
*-------------------------- end example --------------------------------

Hope this helps,
