Type: Command

Description: Autoscale Command: Calculates a y-axis display range, or an x- and y-axis display range. The action of AUTO depends on the plot type as follows:

Plot Type

Scaling Action

 

 

FUNCTION

Samples the equation in EQ at 40 values of the independent

 

variable, equally spaced through the x-axis plotting range, discards

 

points that return ±∞, then sets the y-axis display range to include

 

the maximum, minimum, and origin.

 

 

CONIC

Sets the y-axis scale equal to the x-axis scale.

 

 

POLAR

Samples the equation in EQ at 40 values of the independent

 

variable, equally spaced through the plotting range, discards

 

points that return ±∞, then sets both the x- and y-axis display

 

ranges in the same manner as for plot type FUNCTION.

 

 

PARAMETRIC

Same as POLAR.

 

 

TRUTH

No action.

 

 

BAR

Sets the x-axis display range from 0 to the number of elements in

 

ΣDAT, plus 1. Sets the y-range to the minimum and maximum of

 

the elements. The x-axis is always included.

 

 

HISTOGRAM

Sets the x-axis display range to the minimum and maximum of

 

the elements in ΣDAT. Sets the y-axis display range from 0 to the

 

number of rows in ΣDAT.

 

 

SCATTER

Sets the x-axis display range to the minimum and maximum of

 

the independent variable column (XCOL) in ΣDAT. Sets the y-

 

axis display range to the minimum and maximum of the

 

dependent variable column (YCOL).

AUTO does not affect 3D plots.

AUTO actually calculates a y-axis display range and then expands that range so that the menu labels do not obscure the resultant plot.

AUTO does not draw a plot — execute DRAW to do so.

AXES

Type: Command

Description: Axes Command: Specifies the intersection coordinates of the x- and y-axes, tick-mark annotation, and the labels for the x- and y-axes. This information is stored in the reserved variable PPAR.
