Re: Plotting a line

there's no problem, it's a feature ;-)

the warning message simply informs you that the program has noticed that
the largest and smallest x values are the same, which results in an "empty
x range" (x axis of zero length), accordingly it has slightly readjusted
the edge values of the range so that it can plot an x axis of finite
length.

You can avoid this warning message by manually setting the x-axis limit
values, for instance, try,

> axis ([-1, 1)
> plot ([1,1], [2,1])

See "help axis" for further details.
