Most of the time I use the default setting when I'm just plotting a
data set for the first time, and don't know exactly what axis range I
would like to use. Essentially, it is handy anytime you don't know
what your data range is, and you are too lazy to type
'xr=[min(x),max(x)],yr=[min(y),max(y)],xs=1,ys=1'. Also, [xy]style =
0 is usually pretty good at putting just enough whitespace on each
side of the plot to make it look nice, a fact that I sometimes take
advantage of.
