Dear Martin, I understand the reasons behind PDF removal, but I actually added a description of the problem with R2.7+ before... (I cannot select which email client I use in the office).
Now the problem remains and here is the illustration. The reason for setting xlim beyond the data range can be e.g. that more data are added afterwards: plot(c(-5,5),1:2, xlim=c(-10,10)) R2.6.1 outputs X axis ticks correctly as in: +--- (-10) --------- (-5) --------- (0) --------- (5) --------- (10) ---+ R2.8.0 and R2.7.2 patched output X-axis ticks "incorrectly" as in the following illustration (well, the ticks are correct, but the plots are ugly because ticks do not cover the whole range requested): +------------- (-6) - (-4) - (-2) - (0) - (2) - (4) - (6) --------------+ Also, try the following code in R2.6.1 and R2.7+: m = matrix(c(-0.033, 0.009, 0.064, 0.050, 0.097, -0.008, 0.037, 0.070, 0.060, 0.077, -0.027, 0.051, 0.060, 0.106, 0.049, -0.068, -0.009, 0.095, 0.091, 0.125, -0.065, 0.013, 0.062, 0.111, 0.080), ncol=5, byrow=TRUE) plot(c(-5,5),c(0,10),xlim=c(-10,10),ylim=c(-5,15)) x11(); matplot(m) Here are the seesionInfo's: ----------------------------------------------------------------- R version 2.8.0 Under development (unstable) (2008-08-05 r46234) x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu locale: C attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base ----------------------------------------------------------------- R version 2.7.2 Patched (2008-08-26 r46442) x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu locale: C attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base ----------------------------------------------------------------- R version 2.6.1 (2007-11-26) x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu locale: C attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] rcompgen_0.1-17 Dr Oleg Sklyar Technology Group Man Investments Ltd +44 (0)20 7144 3803 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************************************************************** The contents of this email are for the named addressee(s...{{dropped:22}} ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
