Computational cost is not the only reason. It helps people understand the fact that the sampling is, in fact, discrete if the first few curves they see, as absolute newbies, show some visible sampling right off the bat. It keeps them from forming an incorrect mental image of what this program will do. > Related to that particular demo: I noticed that the values at tics marks > are not located exactly where one would expect them. That depends, as always, on what one expects. I think you'll understand better if you replace the default tic format with "%+h" and re-do your exercise. |
