PlotRange

Usage

PlotRange is an option for graphics functions that specifies what points to include in a plot.


Notes

PlotRange can be used for both two- and three-dimensional graphics.
• The following settings can be used:
All all points are included
Automatic outlying points are dropped
{min, max} explicit limits for  (2D) or  (3D)
{{ ,  }, { ,  }} explicit limits for  and  (2D)
{{ ,  }, { ,  }, { ,  }} explicit limits for  ,  and  (3D)
• When no explicit limits are given for a particular coordinate, a setting of Automatic is assumed.
• With the Automatic setting, the distribution of coordinate values is found, and any points sufficiently far out in the distribution are dropped. Such points are often produced as a result of singularities in functions being plotted.
• Any explicit limit or pair {min, max} can be replaced by a specification such as All or Automatic.
• A setting such as {min, Automatic} gives a particular minimum value for a coordinate, with a maximum value to be determined automatically.
AbsoluteOptions gives the explicit form of PlotRange specifications when Automatic settings are given.
