These pairs of commands are 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 plotor 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 settings called Auto xcale x-axis? and Auto scale y-axis? 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.
