# Fix range when combining plots [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:

Is there a way to automatically choose the y-axes when combining plots (and in passing, why isn't that the default behaviour for Show[ plot1, plot2 ]?)

 bidPlotZoom    = Plot[ bid[u], {u, 0, 20000 }, PlotStyle -> Blue ]
askPlotZoom    = Plot[ ask[u], {u, 0, 20000 }, PlotStyle -> Green ]

Show[ askPlotZoom, bidPlotZoom ]


Actually I'd settle for a manual way right now :)

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.

• Somehow WRI decided to mention that not earlier but in the last section of docs for Show. Show takes options from the first graphic. – Kuba Dec 9 '14 at 5:09
• Thanks. Still wondering why PlotRange -> Automatic isn't the default, but I'm sure there is a reason. – Quant Dec 9 '14 at 5:47
• yup, that would be a duplicate – mikuszefski Dec 9 '14 at 8:11

Argh. It was just

Show[  , PlotRange-> Automatic ]
