[Rd] plot.default 'ylim' error message is wrong (PR#8784)
Full_Name: Lutz Prechelt Version: 2.2.1 OS: WinXP SP2 Submission from: (NULL) (130.133.8.114) This command plot(0, 0, xlim=c(3, 5), ylim=c(0, 10, 17)) should complain about 'ylim' (because it has three elements). However, it does in fact (in my german error message at least) complain about 'xlim' instead: Fehler in plot.window(xlim, ylim, log, asp, ...) : ung?ltiger 'xlim' Wert I spent about fifteen minutes debugging my trivial xlim argument before I found this. Shows my general trust in R, I guess. It is a great system. Version 2.2.1 (2005-12-20 r36812) Lutz Prechelt
