Hi,
Perhaps you should read the documentation on PlotRange to appreciate
the choices made in the specifications of the options.
Note that for Automatic the outlying points are dropped! You probably
want PlotRange->Full which will give what I believe you expect and
want in your example below.
Try
Plot[Tan[x], {x, 0, 10}, PlotRange -> Automatic] versus Plot[Tan[x],
{x, 0, 10}, PlotRange -> Full] to get an appreciation of the difference.
