Really? Automatic range scaling is the default regardless of the
values of [XY]STYLE, I think. And the whitespace produced by
[XY]STYLE=0 is often extremely unevenly distributed (if present at
all).

Anyway, here's a hint to the original poster: Yi, if you don't like
the default behavior of PLOT, you can change it by adding two
statements to your startup file:

!X.STYLE=1
!Y.STYLE=1

Cheers,
