The problem with this last is Show sets values for common
options according to how they are set for the first graphic. In
this case, the plot range is being set by the Plot command and
is insufficient to show the subsequent graphic. You can fix this
either by:
Show[Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 10}, AspectRatio -> Automatic],
Graphics[Disk[{5, 0}, 2]], PlotRange -> All]
that is by specifically over riding the implicit plot range or by:
Show[Graphics[Disk[{5, 0}, 2]], Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 10}],
Axes -> True]
Here, the plot range is set appropriately but the first item
doesn't have axes shown. So, there is a need to add the Axes ->
True to show the axes.
