Error in Plot: Need Finite xlim Values in R (2 Examples)

In this R tutorial you’ll learn how to deal with the plotting error message “need finite ‘xlim’ values”.

Creation of Example Data

x1 <- rep(NA, 5)                     # First x vector
x2 <- 9:5                            # Second x vector
y <- 1:5                             # y vector

Example 1: Replicating the Error – need finite ‘xlim’ values

plot(x1, y)                          # Error message is returned due to NA vector
# Error in plot.window(...) : need finite 'xlim' values
# In addition: Warning messages:
# 1: In min(x) : no non-missing arguments to min; returning Inf
# 2: In max(x) : no non-missing arguments to max; returning -Inf

Example 2: Solving the Error – need finite ‘xlim’ values

plot(x2, y)                          # x vector without NA values works fine
