> Does anyone know why autoscaling is defaulting to this +-6% range? I don't know anything about it what happened to the code, but I will say that +- 6% autoscaling is better than tight bounds for many kinds of plots. Like a scatter plot. It doesn't look good if some of your points are right on the axes, with their marker cut in half by the border. It's always bugged me with Matlab that there was no easy way to get slightly enlarged bounds on plots, so I'm glad to hear mpl has added something like that. I'm not sure it should be the default, or only option though. Some plots are better with tight bounds. --bb ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
