st: How to plot cdf after corrected kernel density

I am using -kdens- and I do not know how to plot the cumulative distribution function. I am using Stata 13 for Windows.
I am using -kdens- to estimate kernel density correcting for bounded variables using linear combination method. I want to plot the cumulative distribution function for the estimated kernel densities. On one of the statlist threads (http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2005-04/msg00798.html), the following method has been suggested to plot them:
sysuse auto
_kdens mpg, g(b a)
cumul b, g(cb)
line cb b, sort
With the above command, I get the densities on the x-axis, rather than the [x]. I looked all over the web to check if I can find how to do it, but I have not been successful. If I use the following command:
line cb a, sort
I get weird triangle shaped graph.
