SUMMARY

Determines the plot limits for the y axis.

SYNTAX

YLIM {ON|OFF|ALL|min max|PM v ....}

INPUT

{ON}: Turn y limits option on, but don't change limits.

OFF: Turn y limits option off.

ALL: Scale y limits to the minimum and maximum of all files in memory.

min max: Turn fixed y option on and change limits to min and max.

PM v: Turn fixed y option on and change limits to minus and plus the absolute value of v. ,SKIP You may define different y limit options for each file in memory if you wish. The first entry in the command applies to the first file in memory, the second entry to the second file, etc. The last entry applies to the remainder of the files in memory.

{ON}:	Turn y limits option on, but don't change limits.
OFF:	Turn y limits option off.
ALL:	Scale y limits to the minimum and maximum of all files in memory.
min max:	Turn fixed y option on and change limits to min and max.
PM v:	Turn fixed y option on and change limits to minus and plus the absolute value of v. ,SKIP You may define different y limit options for each file in memory if you wish. The first entry in the command applies to the first file in memory, the second entry to the second file, etc. The last entry applies to the remainder of the files in memory.

DEFAULT VALUES

YLIM OFF

DESCRIPTION

When this option is on, fixed limits are used in plotting. When off, the limits are scaled to the data. The limits can also be scaled to the entire data set if desired. Different values may be set for each file in memory.

EXAMPLES

Consider the following set of commands:
SAC> YLIM 0.0 30.0 ALL OFF
SAC> READ FILE1 FILE2 FILE3
SAC> PLOT
FILE1 would be plotted with y limits of 0.0 and 30. FILE2 would be scaled to the minimum and maximum values of all files in memory. FILE3 would be scaled to its own minimum and maximum values. If more than three files were read in, they would also be scaled to their own minimum and maximum values.
