Limits()

Sets axis limits for the Display() and Plot() commands.

LIMITS [/DEFAULT]   Sets X and Y axes to autoscale
LIMITS/X [xmin=Real] [xmax=Real] Sets X axis limits
LIMITS/Y [ymin=Real] [ymax=Real] Sets Y axis limits
LIMITS/NO_AUTO [xmin=Real] [xmax=Real] [ymin=Real] [ymax=Real] Sets X and Y axis limits

example:

	# Set the limits before doing a display
	>> Limits/X xmin=10.0E4 xmax=50.0E4
	>> Display s(1)

Note: If no data appears on a Display(), typing "Limits" may help find it!

Limits

The Limits() command is used to gain independent control over the scaling of the axes used in the Display() and Plot() commands. Settings made using the command remain in effect until another Limits() command is issued.

Parameters:

/Default

This qualifier enables automatic limit scaling for the Display() command. If for some reason the data has disappeared off the plot, using Limits/Default will ensure any data is plotted in the viewable area. This is the default qualifier so just typing "Limits" will perform a Limits/Default.

 

Limits/X

Sets explicit X limits for the Display() and Plot() commands to adhere to. Note that the actual setting of the limits will still be dependent on whether rounding is switched on for the X axis (see Alter())

Parameters:

Xmin, Xmax (Real)

Real values for the lower and upper bounds of the visible data region in data co-ordinates.

Limits/Y

Sets explicit Y limits for the Display() and Plot() commands to adhere to. Note that the actual setting of the limits will still be dependent on whether rounding is switched on for the Y axis (see Alter())

Parameters:

Ymin, Ymax (Real)

Real values for the lower and upper bounds of the visible data region (in data co-ordinates).

Limits/No_auto

Sets explicit X and Y limits for the Display() and Plot() commands to adhere to. Note that the actual setting of the limits will still be dependent on whether rounding is switched on for either or both axes (see Alter())

Parameters:

Xmin, Xmax, Ymin, Ymax (Real)

Real values for the lower and upper bounds of the visible data region in data co-ordinates.
