You are using the plot method for class "date" from contributed package 'survival', so it was incorrect to post this as a bug report on R itself. See
> args(survival:::plot.date) function (x, y, ..., axes, xaxt, xlab, ylab, log = NULL, xlim = range(x, na.rm = TRUE), ylim = range(y, na.rm = TRUE)) NULL which defaults 'log' to the invalid value of NULL. Similarly, the warning comes from passing the non-graphics-parameter 'type' to axis() inside that function. Please take this up with the package maintainer (as the posting guide and FAQ ask). [You did not get a reply on R-help, at least from me, because you ignored the advice to contact the package maintainer.] On Mon, 14 Aug 2006, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Full_Name: Chanseok Park > Version: 2.3.1 > OS: RHEL > Submission from: (NULL) (130.127.112.89) > > > Dear Sir/Madam: > > I wrote some examples below. > The plot() function is not working properly with Julian date. > For example, log="" should be a default option, but without the repetition of > this default option in plot(), we can not draw it especially with Julian > date. > So, maybe, the plot() function might not be compatible with as.date(). > > Thanks, > C.
