Package checking: verifying plots
I pride myself on having an extensive and comprehensive test suite for the survival package. However, I don't have a good procedure for testing the plotting routines. (Forget "good", I don't even have a third-rate procedure for this.) This was brought home with the latest release; within 24 hours I got a note about a problem. They y-axis range for a plot was calculated incorrectly, giving no warning or error, just a graph with 2/3 of the data outside the plot window. It was a side effect of a change for another reason, and of course I had checked out that consequence thoroughly. Any good ideas for this issue? Terry Therneau
