AUTOSCALE

Syntax: | `SET AUTOSCALE ON SET AUTOSCALE ON\VIRTUAL SET AUTOSCALE OFF SET AUTOSCALE COMMENSURATE SET AUTOSCALE X SET AUTOSCALE X\VIRTUAL SET AUTOSCALE Y SET AUTOSCALE Y\VIRTUAL GET AUTOSCALE { s }`
Default: | `ON`

Note: The value of the `AUTOSCALE` characteristic is a string instead of a numeric value. So, if you enter: `GET AUTOSCALE X`, the variable `X` will be a string variable.

`AUTOSCALE` controls the autoscaling for the graph axes. Autoscaling means to automatically choose the minimum and maximum values for the axes, as well as the number of large, numbered, tic marks for the axes. Autoscaling affects commands that draw axes. The type of autoscaling that is done depends on the keyword that is used.

keyword | result
`ON` | autoscale the horizontal and the vertical axes
`OFF` | turn off all autoscaling the axes will remain as they are currently set
`COMMENSURATE` | autoscale the horizontal and vertical axes and change the lengths of the axes to be commensurate
`X` | autoscale the horizontal axis only the vertical axis will remain as currently set
`Y` | autoscale the vertical axis only the horizontal axis will remain as currently set

Autoscaling remains in effect until changed with `SET AUTOSCALE` or the `SCALES` command is entered. The default is `AUTOSCALE ON`.

When the `/VIRTUAL` qualifier is used, the virtual minima and maxima for the axes will be determined, so that the axes may not begin or end at a large tic mark. If `ON\VIRTUAL` is used, both the x and y-axes will have virtual minima and maxima. If `X\VIRTUAL` is used, only the x-axis will have virtual minimum and maximum. If `Y\VIRTUAL` is used, only the y-axis will have virtual minimum and maximum.
