| Jul 31, 2015 at 9:20 | comment | added | J. M.'s missing motivation♦ | "should not" is a bit stronger than what I wanted to say; my only point was that this style looks to be difficult to maintain and can be easily broken during modification. The package is the classical way of having a few public functions that use private subroutines. | |

As I would call myself still a beginner in Mathematica, I'm thankful for every suggestion for improvement. But yes, it's just a toy function :-) But I was not aware one should not define functions in functions (if they should be 'private'). So I guess building a own package would be a good way?! Or is there another way to have private functions? | |

If you'll pardon me for being frank, your implementation looks a bit more fragile (unless this is a toy example and your actual routine has good reasons for having a function definition within a function definition). Maybe separate out Rescaled, and set up an option default list the way I did in my previous comment.

Options[myPlot] = Sort[Append[Options[Plot], "CommonZero" -> True]] and use OptionValue[] and FilterRules[] as necessary.
