AUTOSCALE

Syntax: SET AUTOSCALE ON
SET AUTOSCALE ON\VIRTUAL
SET AUTOSCALE OFF
SET AUTOSCALE COMMENSURATE
SET AUTOSCALE X
SET AUTOSCALE X\VIRTUAL
SET AUTOSCALE Y
SET AUTOSCALE Y\VIRTUAL
GET AUTOSCALE { s }
Default: ON

Note: The value of the AUTOSCALE characteristic is a string instead of a numeric value. So, if you enter: GET AUTOSCALE X, the variable X will be a string variable.

AUTOSCALE controls the autoscaling for the graph axes. Autoscaling means to automatically choose the minimum and maximum values for the axes, as well as the number of large, numbered, tic marks for the axes. Autoscaling affects commands that draw axes. The type of autoscaling that is done depends on the keyword that is used.

keyword result
ONautoscale the horizontal and the vertical axes
OFFturn off all autoscaling
the axes will remain as they are currently set
COMMENSURATEautoscale the horizontal and vertical axes and
change the lengths of the axes to be commensurate
Xautoscale the horizontal axis only
the vertical axis will remain as currently set
Yautoscale the vertical axis only
the horizontal axis will remain as currently set

Autoscaling remains in effect until changed with SET AUTOSCALE or the SCALES command is entered. The default is AUTOSCALE ON.

When the /VIRTUAL qualifier is used, the virtual minima and maxima for the axes will be determined, so that the axes may not begin or end at a large tic mark. If ON\VIRTUAL is used, both the x and y-axes will have virtual minima and maxima. If X\VIRTUAL is used, only the x-axis will have virtual minimum and maximum. If Y\VIRTUAL is used, only the y-axis will have virtual minimum and maximum.
