<H2><A NAME="7_20">7.20 Adjusting the auto-scaling limits - grace value</A>
29 
</H2>
30 
<P> By default the auto-scaling algorithm tries to make best possible
31 
 use of screen estate by making the scale as large as possible, i.e. the
32 
 extreme values (min/max) will be on the top and bottom of the scale if
33 
 they happen to fall on a scale-tick. So for example doing a simple line
34 
 plot could look like the plot shown in the below.<DIV class="example">
35 
<BR> <A href="exframes/frame_example3.2.html" target="blank"><IMG border="0"
36 
HEIGHT="200"       src="img/img/img/img/img/img/example3.2.png" WIDTH="300"></A>

38 
target="blank">[src]</A>&nbsp;
39 
<P></P>
40 
</DIV></P>
41 
<P> However you might sometime want to add some extra to the minimum and
42 
 maximum values so that there is some &quot;air&quot; in the graph between the end
43 
 of the scale values and the extreme points in the graphs. This can be
44 
 done by adding a &quot;grace&quot; percentage to the scale. So for example adding
45 
 10% to the y-scale in the image above is done by calling the <A href="../ref/LinearScale.html#_LINEARSCALE_SETGRACE">
46 
 SetGrace()</A> method on the yscale as in</P>

54 
<P> These lines add a minimum of 10% to the top and bottom values of the
55 
 scale. Note that we say &quot;minimum&quot; since depending on the specific tick
56 
 values choose this might be a little bit more to make the end of the
57 
 scale fall on an even tick mark.</P>
58 
<P> Adding this line to the previous graph will result in the following
59 
 example</P>

<P> Since we haven't adjusted the position of the X-axis it will remain

70 
 also add the line</P>
