I assume you are refering to the user written command -sizefx- 
that can be downloaded from SSC. Remember that the Statalist
FAQ asks everybody to report where they got user written 
software from. This is in your own interest, as the answer
often depends on that information (i.e. which version of the
user written program you are using).

You can see how the computation is done if you type in Stata
-viewsource sizefx.ado-. This is a very short program and
well documented with comments, so reading it should not pose 
a problem.

Hope this helps,
Maarten
