Details:

Matlab accepts -Inf or Inf to be one bound of an axis command.  This is an
indication to use autoscaling on that particular bound.

For example,


plot (1:10);
axis ([-Inf 5 0 10]);


Since the X data begins at 1, the actual axis after the command above should
begin at an autoscaled point such as 0 or 1 and continue only until the hard
limit of x=5.

This would be a nice feature to emulate.
