Hi
That was a very nice explanation of how autoscale works, thank you very
much :D
After now understanding how the function autoscale function works, I see
that this would be a major change in the code, as it would require the axes
to know all of the bounding boxes, and not only one of them.
As it, at least in my code, is easy to calculate the new limits on the
unset axis, I would not put this up as something that should be a feature.
Though I think the documentation for autoscale, section axis could be a bit
clearer and state that autoscaling only one axis autoscales that axis with
respect to everything plotted, even though xlim/ylim has been set.
Regards
Pål
