Auto scaling may be set individually on the x, y or z axis or globally on all axes. The default is to autoscale all axes. When autoscaling, the plot range is automatically computed and the dependent axis (y for a plot and z for splot) is scaled to include the range of the function or data being plotted. If autoscaling of the dependent axis (y or z) is not set, the current y or z range is used. See set yrange or set zrange. Autoscaling the independent variables (x for plot and x,y for splot) is a request to set the domain to match any data file being plotted. If there are no data files then autoscaling an independent variable has no effect. In other words, in the absence of a data file, functions alone do not affect the x range (or the y range if plotting z = f(x,y)). See set xrange, or set yrange. The behavior of autoscaling remains consistent in parametric mode, however, there are more dependent variables and hence more control over x, y, and z plot scales. In parametric mode, the independent or dummy variable is t for plots and u,v for splots. Autoscale in parametric mode, then, controls all ranges (t, u, v, x, y, and z) and allows x, y, and z to be fully autoscaled. See set parametric. Syntax: set autoscale set noautoscale show autoscale where is either x, y, z or xy. If is not given then all axes are assumed. Examples: This sets autoscaling of the y axis. x axis autoscaling is not affected. set autoscale y This sets autoscaling of the x and y axes. set autoscale xy This sets autoscaling of the x, y and z axes. set autoscale This disables autoscaling of the x, y and z axes. set noautoscale This disables autoscaling of the z axis only. set noautoscale z Available Subtopic(s): parametric mode
