[BUG] PGFPlotsX cannot set ylims for certain plots

[kaiwizz]

Details

I ran into this issue while creating a certain plot. pgfplotsx() backend successfully generates the initial plot, but when I try to adjust the y-axis, it gives me an error. This is an example that also shows the same error.

using Plots

pgfplotsx()
scatter(x-> 1e-3/(x-3), 1, 10000)
ylims!(-0.00025,0.00025)

gr()
scatter(x-> 1e-3/(x-3), 1, 10000)
ylims!(-0.00025,0.00025)

the gr() backend can change the y axis but pgfplotsx() does not.

I faced no issue setting the ylims while using purely PGFPlotsX,

using PGFPlotsX

x = range(1, 10000, length = 500) 
@pgf Axis({ymin= -0.00025, ymax = 0.00025 },
    Plot( { only_marks,},
        Coordinates(x, @. (1e-3) / (x-3))
    )
)
