May I request a modest change in the documentation and warning for "xinch", "yinch", and "xyinch"? Consider the following example: > plot(1:2, log='y') > yinch(1) [1] 0.1961134 Warning message: In yinch(1) : y log scale: yinch() is nonsense In fact, in this environment, "yinch(y)" translates a vertical displacement of "y" inches into the corresponding change in the log10 scale. For a realistic example of such a use, see the first example of the current R-Forge version of the new "animate" function in the "Ecfun" package: This places the Rlogo on a plot(..., log='y') without distortion.
