Re: plot problem

[Henry F. Mollet]

Whereas Finder/Find on OS 10.2.8 produces a larger number of hits containing
"plot.m", the more advanced Spotlight on OS 10.4 produces zilch to very
little with the same search. It cannot find the following files which
contain plot.m which are present for sure:

octave:24> cd /usr/local/share/octave/2.1.71/m/plot
octave:25> ls
PKG_ADD                 axis.m                  plot.m
__axis_label__.m        bar.m                   plot_border.m
Cut

octave:33> cd /usr/local/share/octave/2.1.71/site/m/octave-forge/plot
octave:34> ls
Cut
fplot.m                 pie.m                   zoom.m

Below indicates that plot.m creates a range. With a single point, one has to
use a symbol to be able to see the data point at (1,2).

octave:15> plot (1,2)
octave:16> Warning: empty x range [1:1], adjusting to [0.99:1.01]
Warning: empty y range [2:2], adjusting to [1.98:2.02]

octave:16> plot (1,2,"x")
octave:17> Warning: empty x range [1:1], adjusting to [0.99:1.01]
Warning: empty y range [2:2], adjusting to [1.98:2.02]
