Hello everbody,
sometimes I need an autoscaling when my new data points in a figure have small
values compared to some deleted ones. So I thought ax.autoscale_view() would
be the solution, but it seems to remember deleted data and so doesn't scale
limits like I want. A little program showing my problem can be seen below.
Could anyone help me or give me a little hint?
Thanks in advance,
Matthias

import pylab as P
P.ion()
P.figure()
ax = P.subplot(111)
P.plot(P.array([0,1]), P.array([0,2]))
P.plot(P.array([1.1,2]), P.array([2.2,4]))
P.draw()
raw_input(" delete one graph by pressing <return>")
ax.lines.pop(-1)
P.draw()
P.draw()
raw_input(" manually setting new limits by pressing <return>")
ax.set_autoscale_on = False
ax.axis([-0.1, 1.1, -0.1, 2.1])
ax.set_autoscale_on = True
P.draw()
P.draw()
raw_input(" do 'ax.autoscale_view()' by pressing <return> ")
ax.autoscale_view()
P.draw()
P.draw()
# autoscale_view() rescales to old limits with all of the data
raw_input(" end programm by pressing <return>")
P.ioff()

Hi everybody,
some time ago I send the first mail concerning "pylab.autoscale_view()".
Unfortunately nobody reponsed - so I ask you again for any suggestions.
If I should set up another example or explain it, please let me know.
best regards and thanks in advance for any hint,
Matthias

The autoscaling mechanism does not keep track of plot elements, so it has no way of knowing what to change when you delete a line. You will have to keep track of the x and y extents of each element yourself, and manually reset the xlim and ylim when you want to rescale after deleting a line. This can be done with the Axes set_xlim and set_ylim methods.

I recently added a helper function "relim" in svn in the Axes class to
automatically recomupte the data limits. After removing various
lines, simply do
ax.relim()
ax.autoscale_view()
but you will need svn...
