# An Error in Manual for Package pgfplots

One can see in page 353 "Manual for Package pgfplots Version 1.16" the below code. I run it, however, I have an error

! Dimension too large.
l.28 \end{loglogaxis}


When \draw command is Inactive, it worked! Dear friends, where is the problem?

• If you include the \pgfplotsset{compat=1.16} command again, it works. Not sure why it does not otherwise. – Psirus May 2 at 8:12
• Sorry, it doesn't work again – user108438 May 2 at 8:55
• I noticed that there are a lot of U+200E symbols in your code which might be the root cause of your problem. Removing them and -- as Psirus already mentioned in his comment -- uncommenting \pgfplotsset{compat=1.16} then works as expected. – Stefan Pinnow May 2 at 10:00
• If you do not immediately understand what @StefanPinnow is saying, paste your code e.g. here to see where these characters are. – user121799 May 2 at 10:31
• The issue why you need to set a not too old compatibility mode is the draw command. if you use \draw (axis cs:1793,4.442e-05) |- (axis cs:4097,1.207e-05) node [near start,left] {$\frac{dy}{dx} = -1.58$}; instead it does work with \pgfplotsset{compat=1.16}  commented out. This is because from pgfplots version 1.11 on axis cs: it is the default coordinate system but before it was not. – user121799 May 2 at 10:37
