Operating system: windows  
Slicer version: 4.11.0  
Expected behavior: reset the focal of the quantitative view through Python  
Actual behavior: click button

Hi all,  
I know the slice views, I may use: sliceWidget(“Red”).fitSliceToBackgrond() to do the reset focal view;  
I know the 3d-view, I may use: threeDView.resetFocalPoint(),

what’s the similar control function inside the quantitative view (as shown in the following image) ?

Thanks a lot, Aiden

Plot view axes can be reset to include the entire plot using `plotWidget.plotView().fitToContent()` (see [documentation](https://apidocs.slicer.org/master/classqMRMLPlotView.html#a4238275e4e9114eeeb2f7ae14bacb11b)).
