Ranges

To change the ranges of the sliders or plots, select View»Ranges or press

<Ctrl-R> in the LQG window.

The slider ranges also will be changed automatically if the user types a new

value which is outside the current range into the corresponding variable edit

box. The plot also can be re-ranged interactively by grabbing and dragging

the plot axes; refer to the Interactive Plot Re-ranging section of Chapter 2,

Introduction to SISO Design.

Selecting View»Auto-Scale or pressing <Ctrl-A> in the LQG window

causes new ranges to be assigned to the sliders and plots, based on the

current controller.
