bug in plot.table(..., log='y')?

Dear R Developers:
Consider the following example:
(tstTable <- table(rep(1:3, 3:1)))
plot(tstTable)
plot(tstTable, log='y')
"plot(tstTable)" works as expected. "plot(tstTable, log='y')" gives
a warning:
Warning message:
In plot.window(...) :
nonfinite axis=2 limits [GScale(-inf,0.477121,..); log=TRUE] --
corrected now
AND the plot has a y axis scale running from 1e-307 to 1e+13.
This is with R 4.2.0 (R Console and the current RStudio) under macOS
11.6.6.
"plot(as.numeric(names(tstTable), as.numeric(tstTable), log='y'))"
works as expected ;-)
Comments?
Thanks for your valuable work in making it easier for people
everywhere to do quality statistics.
The help page ?plot.table says that ylim defaults to c(0, max(x)), i.e. c(0,3) in your example. If you're asking to plot that on a log scale, there are bound to be problems. If you specify ylim, e.g. as c(min(tstTable), max(tstTable)), things are fine in your example; they won't be in examples where the min is zero. Duncan Murdoch
