It can plot log axis from 1 to 10, but that is not what you are plotting. Your ylim includes 0, and you cannot do log(0).
This will draw the plotting frame that you want: plot(c(),c(), xlim=c(1,10), ylim=c(1,10), log="y") Ravi. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- Ravi Varadhan, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, The Center on Aging and Health Division of Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology Johns Hopkins University Ph: (410) 502-2619 Fax: (410) 614-9625 Email: rvarad...@jhmi.edu Webpage: http://www.jhsph.edu/agingandhealth/People/Faculty_personal_pages/Varadhan.h tml ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- -----Original Message----- From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Martin Batholdy Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 2009 5:32 PM To: r help Subject: Re: [R] error message; ylim + log="y" > You have no data to plot. What were you expecting it to do? Well, I get the same error messages when I use real data. So it has to do with the ylim-values specified. When I get rid of the ylim argument definition it does work. But why? I don't understand why R can't plot a logarithmic y-axis from 1 to 10.000. It doesn't need data for that, does it?
