Do a test plot (or use the "stats" command in gnuplot >4.6) to find
out your actual data range (it's in the GPVAL_ variables after each
plot) and then limit it accordingly.

Or try to get the information from somewhere else. The file name
perhaps? Or use the shell() command to extract it from your data
file with the help of grep.
