#191 Uneven default extents with image plots

[dima]

Hi. I'm attaching a gnuplot script that plots some inline data 'with image'. Letting gnuplot autoscale, it chooses a very tight bound on the right and a very loose bound on the left resulting in a very lopsided plot.

gnuplot> set auto noextend
gnuplot> load 'bad_extents_with_image.gp'

OK. That's a good workaround for this particular case. Are you suggesting this as a solution? Thanks for the quick response.

From "help noextend":

 By default autoscaling sets the axis range limits to the nearest tic label
 position that includes all the plot data. Keywords `fixmin`, `fixmax`, `fix`
 or `noextend` tell gnuplot to disable extension of the axis range to the next
 tic mark position. In this case the axis range limit exactly matches the
 coordinate of the most extreme data point.  `set autoscale noextend` is a
 synonym for `set autoscale fix`.  Range extension for a single axis can be 
 disabled by appending the `noextend` keyword to the corresponding range
 command, e.g.
      set yrange [0:*] noextend
