E.1.4. - Axis ranges



The minimum and maximum values of each axis can be set from within the user function just as with the range axis command, ra. You also can have either or both axes auto-ranged by the plot program in a manner similar to the new points command, np.

 Name   What it Does 
 new_points()   Axis ranges set from current data 
 new_xpoints()   x-axis ranges set from current data 
 new_ypoints()   y-axis ranges set from current data 
 new_zpoints()   z-axis ranges set from current data 
 set_xmin(x  Set x-axis minimum to x 
 set_xmax(x  Set x-axis maximum to x 
 set_ymin(y  Set y-axis minimum to y 
 set_ymax(y  Set y-axis maximum to y 
 set_zmin(z  Set z-axis minimum to z 
 set_zmax(z  Set z-axis maximum to z 
 get_xmin()   Value is x-axis minimum 
 get_xmax()   Value is x-axis maximum 
 get_ymin()   Value is y-axis minimum 
 get_ymax()   Value is y-axis maximum 
 get_zmin()   Value is z-axis minimum 
 get_zmax()   Value is z-axis maximum 

The automatic ranging of the axes using the first three macros won't take effect until the function returns to the plot program, so the macros to retrieve the axis extremes will return the values contained on entry to the user function or set in the current invocation of the user function.
