There seem to be a problem with ListPlot auto ranging in Mathematica 9.

Here's my code:

n = 10;
dn = 10;
data = Table[If[Divisible[i - n, dn], i, 1], {i, 1,  100}];
ListPlot[data, PlotRange -> Automatic]

In version 8 it works as expected (y ranges from 0 to 100), but in version 9 it only shows y going from 0 to 2. Is there something wrong with my code? A bug in Mathematica?

  • $\begingroup$ I have y range from 0 to 100 in Wolfram Mathematica 9.0.1. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ In v. 9.0.1, as the documentation for PlotRange indicates, "outlying points are dropped." $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @m0nhawk Strange. I also use 9.0.1. Platform Windows 64. Which platform are you on? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ y: {0, 2} under Mathematica 9.0.1.0 Win7 x64. y: {0, 100} under Mathematica 8.0.0.0 Linux x86. Interestingly, there is no indication in the doc under PlotRange (in v9) that it has ben modified since v8. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Maybe I'm missing the point but "Automatic" and "outlying points" are not very precise statements so I would not expect any specific behaviour. So do not worry :) @IstvánZachar Ah, another one to the list of hidden updates. :/ $\endgroup$

If you want to see all the points, including outliers, use PlotRange->All instead of PlotRange->Automatic. 

n = 10; dn = 10; data = Table[If[Divisible[i - n, dn], i, 1], {i, 1,  100}];
{ListPlot[data, PlotRange -> Automatic], ListPlot[data, PlotRange -> All]}
