A function I've been using for a while returned a surprising [to me, given the data] error recently: Error in plot.window(xlim, ylim, log, asp, ...) : Logarithmic axis must have positive limits
After some digging I realized what was going on: x <- c(10460.97, 10808.67, 29499.98, 1, 35818.62, 48535.59, 1, 1, 42512.1, 1627.39, 1, 7571.06, 21479.69, 25, 1, 16143.85, 12736.96, 1, 7603.63, 1, 33155.24, 1, 1, 50, 3361.78, 1, 37781.84, 1, 1, 1, 46492.05, 22334.88, 1, 1) summary(x) boxplot(x,notch=TRUE,log="y") #unexpected boxplot(x) #ok boxplot(x,log="y") #ok boxplot(x,notch=TRUE) #aha I can get around this, but thought that maybe boxplot() should be adjusted to deal with something like this on its own.
