Trange

Syntax: set trange [tmin:tmax] The range of the parametric variable t is useful in three contexts. 1) In parametric mode plot commands it limits the range of sampling
  for both generating functions.  See `set parametric`, `set samples`.
2) In polar mode plot commands it limits or defines the range of the
  angular parameter theta. See `polar`.
3) In plot or splot commands using 1-dimensional sampled data via
  the pseudofile "+".  See `sampling 1D`, `special-filenames`.
