Description D. V. Wiebe 2004-12-14 04:47:09 UTC 
Version:           1.1.0_devel (using KDE 3.3.1, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.9

It would be nice to be able to limit the range that autoscale works over.  I'm thinking here of having two optional parameters per axis per plot:

1) Don't Let The Upper Limit of the Autoscale Range Go Above This Value, and
2) Don't Let the Lower Limit of the Autoscale Range Go Below This Value

which effectively restricts kst's autoscale to between those two limits.

Given that there are an almost unlimited number of potential requests such as this it might be a good idea to add the ability to specify the axes limits in terms of a scalar value, equation, etc. This would handle all cases as the user is limited only by the equations they can generate.

SVN commit 417946 by rchern:

Allow arithmetic expressions with scalars for plot ranges, and remove FIXED range from UI.  If entered expression is constant, then FIXED range is used internally
