auto scaling means the the graphics application (e.g. gnuplot) will 
determine the axis limits so that you can see all of the data as opposed to 
manual scaling where the user selects the axis limits, and which might not 
show all the data example

plot(1:10)
axis([5,6,5,6]) will show only 2 points of data out of the 10 points.
