Hi! I understand that I can zoom in on / zoom out of a plot like this:

```auto
import numpy as np
import plotly.graph_objects as go

x = np.linspace(0, 10, 11)
y = x ** 2

fig = go.Figure(go.Scatter(x=x, y=y))
fig.show()

fig.update_xaxes({'range': (5, 10)})
fig.show()

```

Now, I can access the range:

```auto
assert list(fig.select_xaxes())[0].range == (5, 10)

```

I can also reset it:

```auto
fig.update_xaxes({'range': None})

```

But how can I find the range of the original plot?
