Other information

If tick values are given which are offscreen, the plot will be expanded to display them. See Set Axis Limits to set the X and Y axis ranges explicitly.

Non-finite (NaN or Inf) entries in Tick Locations are ignored, as are corresponding entries in Tick Labels.

If the axis scale is log or symlog, error 402906 - Operation Not Supported for Axis Scale will result.
