This pair of commands is used to control the NetLogo feature of auto-plotting in the current plot. Auto-plotting will automatically update the x and y axes of the plot whenever the current pen exceeds these boundaries when adding a new point with plot or plotxy. When using histogram to plot values, only the y axis will automatically update its ranges, the x axis will be unchanged. Each plot has an auto-plotting setting called Auto Scale? in the user interface that determines if the plot will enable auto-plotting when the model starts. Auto-plotting is useful when wanting to show all plotted values in the current plot, regardless of the current plot ranges.
These commands will produce a runtime error if the current plot has not been set.
See also plot, plotxy, and histogram, and also the Plots section of the Interface Tab guide.
