Counter intuitive behaviour on 1D plots

Hi Stuart,

I ran into something this afternoon that seems a little counter-intuitive. I was attempting to plot the result of a repeated filtering of data based on a log value, but when I tried to plot the data, I got nothing. What was occuring is that every time I would load the file, the x-axis would be automatically set to 0 on both the min and max values. I only noticed this when I was trying again over the nxservice, and the plot was generated slowly enough I saw that the data plotted, but then somehow disappeared. I attach both the data file and the resultant plot I was eventually able to create.

It seems like this should be fixed - the default behavior should be to set the x-axis limit to the x value limits, at least for 1-d plotting. It would at the very least be less confusing.

Cheers, Jen
