MATLAB: Is it possible to have tighter fit of Y-axis scales for the same Y-values which are small in MATLAB 7.8 (R2009a)

MATLAB

If I plot a vector that has all the same Y-values, the Y-axis does not auto-scale properly for smaller values:
plot([1 2 3 4],[.001 .001 .001 .001]);
I would like to be able to see the Y-scale have a tighter fit when I use the same Y-values to fit the data better, without manually setting the axis limits.
This seems to be the issue when the vector has small values.

The ability to auto-scale for smaller values on Y-axis is not available in MATLAB 7.8 (R2009a).
To workaround this issue, manually change the Y-scale limits. For example, you can do this with the YLIM function like this,
plot([1 2 3 4],[.001 .001 .001 .001]); 
ylim([.0002,.002]);
