The y-rang= e often quite large, say E-10 to E+14. The auto-scale is working very well,= y-ticks will only appear at order of magnitude, where tickmarks placed by = Gnuplot. For example tick-marks place at every 5 order of magnitude: E-10, = E-5, E+0, E+5, etc. Ticks only shown between E-9 and E-10, E-4 and E-5, etc= .
