I'm noting that the logic for AxisAutoY uses the min and max on the entire domain, not the min and max of what's currently on screen.

For the timebeing I recommend you to calculate your own mins and maxes yourself, and call SetAxisLimitsY.

@swharden I don't think a function like plot.getYLimitsWithinWindow(xStart, xEnd) is possible without adding to the current IPlottable interface, but it may be an enhancement worth considering? At the very least it could be added to the more common plottables.

may be an enhancement worth considering?

This is an interesting idea! I think I would lean toward just implementing this in the plot types most likely to need it (probably just signal plots and scatter plots?), then demonstrate how to use it in the Cookbook (rather than adding it to the Plot API or IPlottable). I think it would go something like this:

ScottPlot.Plot myPlot = new();
var sig = myPlot.AddSignal(ys);

// get limits of the data in view
(double yMin, double yMax) = sig.YDataRange(myPlot.GetAxisLimits());
myPlot.AutoAxisY(yMin, yMax);

Note that signal plots already have this functionality built in, you'd just have to expose it publicly:

I probably won't implement this soon, but if you think it would be useful I'd be happy to merge a PR that does something to this effect!

I'll make an issue for it, but I don't know if/when I'll work on it. If I'm not very speedy about it, I suppose it can make its way into #1028 (or its successor).

Thank you for the prompt reply.

Of course, if you want to follow progress on this then I made an issue #1942 and a PR #1946
