If autoscaling of the Y axis is set, the Y axis is automatically scaled to fit the range of the function or data being plotted. If autoscaling of the Y axis is not set, the current Y range is used. See set yrange.
If autoscaling of the X axis is set, the X axis is automatically scaled to fit the range of the data being plotted. Autoscaling of the X axis will operate only on data. Functions do not affect the X range and the range used for functions is determined by the data plots. See set xrange.
Syntax:
set autoscale <axes> set noautoscale <axes> show autoscale
where <axes> is either x, y, or xy. If <axes> is not given then both axes are assumed.
Examples:
These set autoscaling of the Y axis. X axis autoscaling not affected.
set autoscale y
This sets autoscaling of the X and Y axes.
set autoscale xy set autoscale
This disables autoscaling of the X and Y axes.
set noautoscaleThis disables autoscaling of the X axis only.
set noautoscale x
