I'm trying to get my graph to fit inside of the graph's dimensions (4in by 7.5in). I want the ymin of the graph to be the minimum y value of all my points and the ymax value the maximum y value for all of my points (so that my graph fits snugly but doesn't get cut off).

My graph seems to go outside of the boundaries. I've tried to useenlargelimits=true but it adds too much whitespace.

I've also triedenlarge y limits={true, abs value=0.75}, and many different variations, however it doesn't appear to affect the graph at all.

I could use xmin and xmax but I have ~20 graphs, and I don't really want to change each separately.

\begin{tikzpicture}    \begin{axis}[        xmin=1,        enlarge y limits={true, abs value=0.75},        xlabel=Atomic Number,        ylabel=Atomic Radius $(in$ $pm)$,        width=7.5in,        height=4in,        enlargelimits = false,        extra x ticks={1,84},        title={\large Atomic Number vs. Atomic Radius $(in$ $pm)$}]    \addplot[smooth,mark=none,black] plot coordinates {(1,37.1) (2,31) (3,152) (4,112) (5,85) (6,77.2) (7,70) (8,73) (9,72) (10,71) (11,186) (12,160) (13,143) (14,117.6) (15,110) (16,103) (17,100) (18,98) (19,227) (20,197) (21,162) (22,147) (23,134) (24,128) (25,127) (26,126) (27,125) (28,124) (29,128) (30,134) (31,135) (32,122.3) (33,120) (34,119) (35,114) (36,112) (37,248) (38,215) (39,180) (40,160) (41,146) (42,139) (43,136) (44,134) (45,134) (46,137) (47,144) (48,151) (49,167) (50,140.5) (51,140) (52,142) (53,133) (54,131) (55,265) (56,222) (57,187) (58,182) (59,182) (60,181) (61,183) (62,180) (63,208) (64,180) (65,177) (66,178) (67,176) (68,176) (69,176) (70,193) (71,174) (72,159) (73,146) (74,139) (75,137) (76,135) (77,136) (78,139) (79,144) (80,151) (81,170) (82,146) (83,150) (84,168)     };\end{axis}\end{tikzpicture}

  Welcome to TeX.sx! Please add aminimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem.

• Yep, I already added it! It's the graph around x=1

  MWE is meant to be the code producing it. Please check the link in my previous comment.

  @alexy13: An MWE should be a complete minimal document, so something beginning with\documentclass that can just be copied into a new document to get a compilable.tex file. Otherwise everyone who wants to try and help needs to complete the file themselves, which is not a whole lot of fun.
