Someone inquired on StackOverflow about apparently non-deterministic
graphics behaviour in R. I noticed that they were using cex="*" and
discovered some potentially weird behavior.
It can be reproduced much more simply (well, not the hang, but bad enough):
In a plain R application console (OSX Snow Leopard),
for (i in 1:100) plot(1:10,cex="*")
will _sometimes_ show big circles, indicating random data being picked up.
The "cex" is by definition numeric, so you can't expect to be able to pass a
character string, but the code should check.
Looks (?) like the check could go in FixupCex (which already tests for
isReal, isInteger, and isLogical) in src/main/plot.c , unless there is a
wish to catch it earlier/in R code.
Yes, that's where the check was missed. I'll fix it. The other
parameters appear to have been checked properly.
Now fixed in R-devel and R-patched.
