ymaxCX = max(max(CX),limCSss); yminCX = min(min(CX), limCSss);

From this sentence, what does it means to?

Answer 1

[dpb]

ymaxCX = max(max(CX), limCSss); 
yminCX = min(min(CX), limCSss);

Just getting an overall min/max value of the data in vector CX and the computed limit for setting axis xlim values it would appear (altho you need to read the terribly poorly formatted code extremely carefully to be able to find just where that usage actualy is...)
