Dear community,
I am making a ListPlot with the Frame->True option. Here is a simplified example showing the feature in question:
ListPlot[Table[{k, 7./k}, {k, 10, 70, 1}], Frame -> True]
It is everything fine with this plot as soon as the table starts with k=10. However, if the table starts with k=12 instead of 10, like here:
ListPlot[Table[{k, 7./k}, {k, 12, 70, 1}], Frame -> True]
the plot shows a vertical solid line at k.
Why does it appear?
and
How can I remove this line?
Thank you, Alexei

Strange behaviour, indeed. You can even try to find the start of this
behaviour using decimal values for the PlotRange.
It seems that some internal automatic setting of the origin of the y-
axis is at work placing the axis at x.
You can see this setting Frame->False.
I suggest to use the option AxesOrigin->{0,0} to define things
clearly.
Then the line disappears.
Best regards,
Wolfgang

The line is the y-axis. It defaults in this case to a value within the frame.
Options[ListPlot, Axes]
{Axes -> True}
Often, when using a frame you want to suppress one or both axes.
ListPlot[
Table[{k, 7./k}, {k, 12, 70, 1}],
Frame -> True,
Axes -> {True, False}]
ListPlot[
Table[{k, 7./k}, {k, 12, 70, 1}],
Frame -> True,
Axes -> False]

Mathematica places the origin at {20,0} so
ListPlot[Table[{k, 7./k}, {k, 12, 70, 1}], Frame -> True, Axes -> False]

The vertical line that appears is the vertical axis. I don't
really know what algorithm Mathematica uses that causes an axis
to be displayed in ListPlot and determines where it will be
displayed. To remove it, simply add Axes->None as one of the
options for ListPlot.

First question: I don't know, but it looks as if it's trying to draw
a vertical axis at k.Second question: If you explicitly remove the axis,
it works.
ListPlot[Table[{k,7./k},{k,12,70,1}],Axes->None,Frame->True]

Dear Alexi,
it's not a line it's an axis. Just try:
ListPlot[Table[{k, 7./k}, {k, 12, 70, 1}], Axes -> False,
Frame -> True]

Alexei,
It's a matter of Mathematica adaptively choosing where to put the Axes,
which you probably thought were banished because you had used Frame -> True.
But Mathematica allows a Frame AND Axes.
So just add the Option Axes -> None.
ListPlot[Table[{k, 7./k}, {k, 12, 70, 1}], Frame -> True,
Axes -> None]
