Subject: R-beta: error in x11 graphics?
Hi,
please could somebody try the following lines:
x<-c(-808996808,-820483729)
y<-c(1429449991,372653377)
xrange<-c(-824726000,-820002315)
yrange<-c(369266958,373990642)
# only one point should appear because the other lays outside the plot ranges:
plot(x,y,xlim=xrange,ylim=yrange)
# this should produce a line directed to the hidden point
lines(x,y)
If it would work correct, you should get something like this:
+---------------+
| / |
| o |
| |
| |
| |
+---------------+
But my R (0.62.2 on Linux) produces a line downwards, and if I rescale
the plot, it changes its direction from downwards to right and to upwards.
Whats the matter?
May be a rounding error in the X11 code?
Postscript versions of this plot are ok: I tried the plot commands from above with
postscript("/tmp/test1.ps",horizontal=F,height=7,width=7)
postscript("/tmp/test2.ps",horizontal=F,height=7,width=3)
postscript("/tmp/test3.ps",horizontal=F,height=3,width=7)
and all looked like my sketch above.
Of course, the ratio between the ylim dimensions of the plot and the
distance in y-direction between the two points is very small (0.004),
but why should it work with postscript only?
Albrecht
