The character "*" displays too high in comparison to the graph space and other characters in the plot. Consider:
a_-0.15
plot(c(0,100),c(0,1))
for (i in 1:100){ points(i,(1-exp(a*i)),pch=".",col="blue")}
for (i in 1:100){ points(i,(1-exp(a*i)),pch="*",col="red")}
abline(1,0)
Can anyone reproduce this? On my Solaris system the placing looks spot on on X11 and postscript, so it looks to me to be a system-specific font-metric problem. I noticed it came from a beta OS (gnu-linux (mandrake 7.1beta)), and I am presumming that the X11 device was meant.
I don't see it either with current development sources. We used to get that effect because "*" is a superscript asterisk (not a centered operator) in the relevant X11 font, but Paul/Ross fixed that at some point. Does example(points) look right on this system?
