SET AUTOSCALE ON
|
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 |
ON | autoscale the horizontal and the vertical axes |
OFF | turn off all autoscaling the axes will remain as they are currently set |
COMMENSURATE | autoscale the horizontal and vertical axes and change the lengths of the axes to be commensurate |
X | autoscale the horizontal axis only the vertical axis will remain as currently set |
Y | autoscale 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.
