Submission from: (NULL) (151.170.240.10)
Following the advice of a reader of R-help, I would now like to submit this as a
bug report:
Say we have
x = seq(1,3, by = 0.01)
y = exp(x)
Plotting and reversing linear axis is fine
plot(x,y)
plot(x,y, ylim = c(30,1))
as is a usual log-plot:
plot(x,y, log = "y", ylim = c(1,30))
However,
plot(x,y, log = "y", ylim = c(30,1))
fails with
Error in axis(2, ...) : log - axis(), 'at' creation, _SMALL_ range:
invalid {xy}axp or par;
axp[0]= 10, usr[0:1]=(34.3721,0.872801)
In addition: Warning message:
CreateAtVector "log"(from axis()): usr[0] = 34.3721 > 0.872801 = usr[1] !
According to Petr Pikal <petr.pikal -at- precheza.cz>, replacing the ylim
argument by ylim = c(30,1.2) helps in the above example; but in my real world
applications, it's actually difficult to find a working value for ylim.
I hope this is useful,
Christian.
