Axes limits when plotting Time Courses

[Alice De Carli]

Hello!

I am a first year PhD student and I am currently using COPASI for one of my projects.

While plotting Time Courses, I noticed that COPASI automatically sets up both x- and y-axes limits. However, I would like to manually set up the limits to better compare results across time courses for different environmental conditions.

As much as I have tried to look for a way to do so, I could not find anything.

Would anyone be able to kindly help me?

I wish everyone a very nice day and thank you all in advance!

We don't have a setting to directly specify the axes limits. To control the x-axis for parameter estimation, you could add a point to your time series so that all experiments end with the same time value (leaving the dependent value nan/undefined). That will cause the x-axis to be the same for all of them. For time series, just having the same end time should also make the x axis the same for all of your plots. To control the Y axis you could add a global parameter of type assignment, that assigns the max-y value that you want to have in the plot. If you now regenerate the plot they will have the same x and y values. 

Other than that loading the COPASI file into basico or CoRC and running the task there gives you the simulation results so that you have full control over the plots.
