You could edit out the -scatter- command (line numbers 113 to 122),
change the program define statement and save the file as
fracplot2.ado

What I would like to do is suppress them entirely and so allow the axes to shorten to just include the fractional polynomial curve - giving a similar appearance to the twoway graph fpfitci.
