getmin generates the lower bound for a plot

Description

getmin generates lower bound for a plot where it is unknown whether the minimum is less than zero of not. If less than 0 then multiplying by the default mult of 1.05 works well but if the outcome if > 0 then the multiplier needs to be adjusted appropriately so the minimum is slightly lower than the minimum of the data

Usage

getmin(x, mult = 1.05)

Arguments

x	the vector of data to be tested for its minimum
mult	the multiplier for both ends, defaults to 1.05 (=0.95 if >0)

Value

a suitable lower bound for a plot if required

Examples

## Not run: 
vect <- rnorm(10,mean=0,sd=2)
sort(vect)
getmin(vect,mult=1.0)

## End(Not run)
