Visualizing relationship after controls

This Stata program allows one to visualize the relationship between a dependent variable and one independent variable of interest.  The approach is motivated by the Frisch-Waugh-Lovell theorem.  It is quite useful when you want to see what your regression with control variables is actually representing, which can help you to determine whether a linear or other specification might make sense, as well as identifying outliers that may be driving regression results.
