"A setting such as {min, Automatic} gives a particular minimum
value for a coordinate, with a maximum value to be determined."
So both {1, Automatic} and {Automatic, 4} ought to work.
On my system (5.2, Mac OS X), {1, Automatic} works nicely;
{Automatic, 4} fails, giving the error message
"PlotRange::prng : Value of option PlotRange -> {Automatic, 4}
is not All, Automatic, or an appropriate list of range
specifications. More..."
