It's certainly counter-intuitive for the line from (0,0) -> (10,10)
not to pass thru the points.
... and it's pretty dangerous to label something like that as 'user
error'.

Perhaps the plotting routine should first interpolate the line to the
extent or the plotted region first - or at least within the limit
posted by JD.

Mightn't this be a problem when zooming on on details on a plot? As
indicated above, it depends on the plot window size as to when this
misrepresentation will occur.
