Re: [Gnuplot-info] Gnuplot's internal sequence

OK, yes, help autoscale finds that.  I was trying to access the value
in GPVAL_Y_MIN and GPVAL_Y_MAX to convert them for labeling the 2nd Y
scale but couldn't, apparently they get defined by the plotting
process.  I didn't try labeling after plotting.  I was setting my
y2range based on values from stat but then I noticed they were a
little off.  About as I put a bad plot online as the first plot in
that post.  I knew the max temp was about 93 F but it looks more like
83.  The only real change I made was in forcing yrange for the left
axis.
