[R] plotting symbols: bug?

[Thomas de Cornulier]

Dear all,
I spent a long time today to find out why symbols( ) didn't display all my points.
In fact, the function cannot display circles with a small radius when the range of
radii is too large, whereas circles with radius=0 are drawn as dots!
here are a simple examples:
> symbols(sample(1:8),sample(1:8),circle=c(1,4,88,0,0,0,0,50),inches=0.2)
#plots 6 circles
> symbols(sample(1:8),sample(1:8),circle=c(0,0,88,0,0,0,0,50),inches=0.2)
#plots 8 circles

this looks quite illogical to me, should it be considered as a bug?

I don't think it is of use, however:
I did this in R 1.3.0 and 1.4.1 both running on Windows 95
