Hello,
I tried to change the x-axis plot range of a 2D-graph (named dataplot1) via the script window by typing

set dataplot1 -b 1 -e 10;

but this results in a command error. What is going wrong?

Additionally, I'd also like to change the y-range, and also the x- and y-range of the plot in layer 2 of the active graph window. Can anyone help?
Thank you very much in advance,
bender

Hi Bender,

You're using the wrong command. The left and right limits are X1 and X2, lower and upper limits are Y1 and Y2...

x1 = X min; x2 = X max;
y1 = Y min; y2 = Y max;

Use lay -o to act on a non-active layer...

lay -o 2 {
x1=X min; x2=X max;
y1=Y min; y2=Y max;
};

Alternatively...

// layer 1 limits
layer1.x.from = X min;
layer1.x.to = X max;
layer1.y.from = Y min;
layer1.y.to = Y max;
// layer 2 limits
layer2.x.from = X min;
layer2.x.to = X max;
layer2.y.from = Y min;
layer2.y.to = Y max;

The 'set' command takes a dataset, not a graph window, as argument which explains the command error. Also, the beginning and end arguments must be in separate statements. This will show points 4 through 10 in Data1_B but won't affect the X axis range...

set Data1_B -b 4;
set Data1_B -e 10;
