That really depends on what you want to do. For one single graph with these specific values, it is quick and easy and hence very satisfying *if that is what you need*. No need to go across the river for water.
But, Daniele came up with a different and more sturdy solution (that I have used in scripts of my own too), which is to specify the axes as max-of-the-data-plus-a-bit reflected about a centered zero axis. This is not data specific, more reusable, but also takes longer to write. On Tue, 2010-07-20 at 15:28 -0500, Benjamin Root wrote: > Somehow, this doesn't seem very satisfying.
