I want to animate a sequence of `lines`, where the x values of each line are fixed, but the y values vary in scale. Something like this:

```julia
julia> using Makie

julia> scene = Scene(); y = Node(randn(10)); lines!(scene, y)

julia> for i in 1:20; sleep(0.1); push!(y, i*randn(10)); end

```

My problem is that the scene limits and aspect ratio are not reasonable for the later iterations.  
I can update the limits with `update_limits!`, but then the aspect ratio is still bad. What is the right way to do this?

Interesting. I would have suggested doing that through `lines` attribute `limit`, however, that does not accept `Observable`. Probably you need to find a way to redraw the axis in each iteration after executing `update_limits!`.

A related question is there a way to just clear the whole scene?
