xlim(lo, hi)

Input: lo, hi · Output: no output

What it is

Fixes an axis range from lo, hi (numbers, data units). After yyaxis right these apply to the right-hand axis.

Overloads

One call shape — this function is not overloaded.

Examples

From the documentation, and run by the build -- the output and the figure below are what the engine actually produced. Simplest first.

# A square canvas, so that equal ranges really are equal scales and the

# circle below comes out round. Without it the figure would render an

# ellipse while the paragraph above it explained how to avoid one.
