Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Coordinate Plane Range

[coachbennett1981]

I have a question about the following code:

Code: Select all

\pspicture(-5,5)(5,5)
	\psaxes[linecolor=gray]{<->}(0,0)(-4,-5)(5,5)
	\psplot[plotstyle=curve,linewidth=2pt,arrows=<->,linecolor=red]{-3.5}{-1}{4 x x mul mul 18 x mul add 17 add}
	\endpspicture
	\vspace{1in}

I want to change the scale so I can fit this graph into beamer presentation, I wanted to have the range be from -4 to -1. The output at x=-4 is 9. How can I change the graph so the axis will go that high and not take up so much room on the page? I have changed Dy=2, but that just spaces out the values for y. Any suggestions?

next time provide _full_ working examples, not only code fragments ...

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{pst-plot}
\begin{document}

\begin{frame}{Title}{subtitle}
\begin{center}
\resizebox{0.7\linewidth}{!}{%
\pspicture(-5,-5)(5,5)
 \psaxes[linecolor=gray]{<->}(0,0)(-4,-5)(5,5)
 \psplot[plotstyle=curve,linewidth=2pt,arrows=<->,
  linecolor=red]{-3.5}{-1}{4 x x mul mul 18 x mul add 17 add}
\endpspicture}
\end{center}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

I see how you resized the figure, but I am wondering how to change the yaxis so that if I wanted to go out further (to 9) I can, I have changed the Dy=2, etc, but it does not work..
