Setting Plot Range for worksheet

[jakoblth]

Hi guys,

I have the following problem:

I want to plot several simple polynomial functions in several xy plots and add them to a worksheet that was created by somebody else.

The problem I have is that even when I set all axis properly and check that my functions are properly defined for all x-values Mathcad only plots down till x=0.2. However, Im also interested in the interval 0-0.2.

The strange thing is that when I copy-paste the stuff into a new worksheet all works well.

So I assume that in the worksheet Im dealing with there is some pre-setting where you limit the plot range to a lower bound of 0.2 .

But where can I find and change this setting??

Thanks alot for replys and Happy New Year!

(Mathcad 14 btw, file can be pm'ed if necessary)

There is no worksheet setting, per se, that controls plot limits. The plot itself has such settings, but not the worksheet. Without seeing the worksheet this is just a guess, but perhaps you have a range variable defined for x above the plot. If you plot a function of x vs x, and x is not defined anywhere in the worksheet, then you get a Quiclplot ever a predefined range of -10 to 10. You can then adjust the range by putting values in the placeholders at the end of the axes. However, if you define x as a range variable before the plot then x is plotted for those values of x. If that's not the problem, then you need to post the offending worksheet.

As something of an aside, defining the range of a plot using a range variable is more reliable than using the Quickplot feature, and is the way I would recommend you do most plots.

Wow ok, it was really a problem with limiting the range of x somewhere in the beginning.

Thanks a lot for the fast and helpful response!
