See -help margins- and -help marginsplot-. To use that you need to
include your polynomial terms in factor variable notation, i.e.
-c.x##c.x-, see -help fvvarlist-. Below is an example:

*------------------ begin example ------------------
sysuse nlsw88, clear

gen byte marst = !never_married + married  ///
    if !missing(never_married, married)
label variable marst "marital status"
label define marst 0 "never married"       ///
                   1 "divorced or widowed" ///
                   2 "married"
label value marst marst

gen byte black = race == 2 if race < 3
label variable black "race"
label define black 0 "white" ///
                   1 "black"
label value black black

glm wage c.ttl_exp##c.ttl_exp union grade black i.marst, ///
    link(log) vce(robust) eform

margins , at(ttl_exp=(.12 .5 1/28))	
marginsplot, recastci(rarea) ciopts(astyle(ci)) ///
   plotopt(msymbol(i))
*------------------- end example -------------------

Hope this helps,
