Matlab warning when using log

I have quiete a long script basically just consiting of comments for plotting pairs of points and customizing the resulting plot. However anytime I want to change axis to logscale I receive the following waring:

Warning: Error occurred while executing the listener callback for event

WindowMouseMotion defined for class matlab.ui.Figure:

Error using matlab.graphics.axis.dataspace.CartesianDataSpace/TransformPoints

DataSpace or ColorSpace transform method failed.

Error in matlab.graphics.internal.transformDataToWorld (line 29)

vertexData = double(hDataSpace.TransformPoints(belowMatrix,iter));

Error in matlab.graphics.chart.internal.convertDataSpaceCoordsToViewerCoords (line

dataspaceData);

This is the code I used. Plain plotting

f = [5 10 20 40 80 160 320 640]*10^3;
U = [4.77 4.23 3.11 1.85 0.98 0.50 0.25 0.13]./5;
plot(f,U,'x','MarkerSize',14,'LineWidth',2.5)
hold on
grid minor
xlabel('Frequenz f in Hz','FontSize',16,'Interpreter','latex')
ylabel('Quotient $\frac{U_E}{U_A}$','FontSize',16,'Interpreter','latex')
axis([0 7*10^5 0 4.77./5])
set(gca,'FontSize',14)
syms x;
R = 10^3; C = 10*10^(-9); 
fG = 1.588e+04;
F = 1./sqrt((x/fG).^2+1);
fplot(F,'LineWidth',1)
set(gca,'YScale','log','XScale','log') %this is the reason for all of it. 
legend('Messwerte','Verlauf')

I tried using loglog or any other function to manipulate axis, but it occures steadily.

This does not produce an error in R2021b. What Matlab release are you using?

f = [5 10 20 40 80 160 320 640]*10^3;
U = [4.77 4.23 3.11 1.85 0.98 0.50 0.25 0.13]./5;
plot(f,U,'x','MarkerSize',14,'LineWidth',2.5)
hold on
grid minor
xlabel('Frequenz f in Hz','FontSize',16,'Interpreter','latex')
ylabel('Quotient $\frac{U_E}{U_A}$','FontSize',16,'Interpreter','latex')
axis([0 7*10^5 0 4.77./5])
set(gca,'FontSize',14)
syms x;
R = 10^3; C = 10*10^(-9); 
fG = 1.588e+04;
F = 1./sqrt((x/fG).^2+1);
fplot(F,'LineWidth',1)
set(gca,'YScale','log','XScale','log') %this is the reason for all of it.

I'm using R2021a. Really worth upgrading due to that warning?

[Niklas Kurz]

Hang on, if you comment %set(gca,'FontSize',14) (only that) - do you get a warning then?

Respectively this is not needed. Just by trying to zoom out the warning should pop up, right?

[Adam Danz]

Sorry, I meant Matlab R2021a. It didn't cause an error in 21a. However, I didn't catch that the error is caused when zooming. When I zoom in 21a, I do get the warning you shared. Looks like WR set it straight.

axis([0 7*10^5 0 4.77./5])

set(gca,'YScale','log','XScale','log') %this is the reason for all of it. 

Do not use an axis limit of 0 with log scale: it would require an infinite plot.

[Niklas Kurz]

that's it, actually pretty obvious:
