Hi Steve: You have made a lot of good points that have pretty much convinced me we should add some functionality to our axis scaling to make it more convenient for those of our users (including especially QSAS users with all their data scaling needs) who don't want to programme axis scaling themselves.
I suggest you go ahead and implement any improvement you would like to see in PLplot axis scaling. Of course, be sure and test such improvements for all anticipated QSAS axis scaling needs. I think it is too late in this release cycle to add improved axis scaling, but after next weekend's release we should be in a good position to discuss and probably incorporate your PLplot patch with or without additional changes, i.e., in the same way our collaborations on qsastime and the qt device driver have been so fruitful.
