Re: [las_users] Specifying plot axis range

[Ansley Manke <ansley.b.manke@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
I jumped the gun on this question, and answered it with the Ferret 
commands that could be used, but didn't answer the LAS question. For 
line plots, the next release of LAS will have a "Dependent Axis Scale" 
plot option that lets the user set this, so that  Ferret scripts can 
make the dependent axes consistent.
