Autoscale

The Autoscale command quickly resets the axes of the currently selected graph so that all the data just fits on the graph while still following standard scientific graphing rules. It is an easy way to automatically scale both axes.

Choose Autoscale from the Analyze menu to autoscale both axes at the same time. Note: The y-axis may not necessarily include the origin, so you may want to perform a more limited Autoscale by choosing Autoscale from Zero.

The default mode for all of the graphs in experiment files is Autoscale Larger. This means that the graph will not get smaller when new points are added. However, if a new point is off the graph, the graph will be enlarged to include it.

Note: It is possible to autoscale each axes independently by clicking the label of each of the axis, selecting More, and then selecting Autoscale in the X or Y Options dialog boxes.
