greetings.
in http://wiki.octave.org/wiki.pl?Producing_Graphical_Output there is a
slight mistake in the very first example:
	octave:1> x = -1:0.1:-1;
	octave:2> plot (x, x.^2)
produces an empty plot, the range should be
	octave:1> x = -1:0.1:1;

I would have simply changed it, but I lack access :-)

This is a core function of Matlab. At the moment I'm in the process of
cleaning out all of the matlab core functions that are in octave-forge
and feeding them to John. I'd therefore suggest that you don't submit
this to octave-forge at all, but rather send your implementation to
mai...@oc... for discussion, and when it is acceptable as a
core function I imagine John will commit it to octave's CVS..

[OctDev] Problem in boxplot.m file

[Spyros B. <ci...@us...>]

Hi!

I noticed that a bug has been introduced in boxplot.m file in the
statistics in the last release (about 3 years ago) in the way outlying
data is handled. If variables outliers_x/y or outliers2_x/y are empty,
the plotting is aborted with an error (because plot doesn't work with
empty matrix as input).

A simple check for emptiness like "isempty(outlier2_x) ||
isempty(outlier2_y)" before plotting would fix this error.

To reproduce (under octave 2.1.72) try issuing:
boxplot(randn(100,1))
it fails 99% of the time.

Re: [OctDev] print_usage changes

[Paul K. <pki...@co...>]

Regarding the print_usage patch for octave-forge C++ files,
I see no reason not to check it in.  The current
octave-forge trunk already requires an octave-CVS build
in order to run, so the only reason the patch wouldn't be
acceptable is if it doesn't compile against octave CVS.

Once octave-2.9.x is the recommended version (preferably
sooner rather than later) I suspect we will start
accumulating cruft again --- we cut off too much of
the octave community if we force people to play on
the bleeding edge.

- Paul

[OctDev] print_usage changes

[John W. E. <jw...@be...>]

Up until now, we have used (for example)

  print_usage ("svd");

in functions defined in C++, but something like

  usage ("[n, s] = weekday (d, [form])");

in scripting language functions.  This means duplication of
information in the script files since the help text usually contains a
line (or lines) like

  @deftypefn {Function File} {[@var{n}, @var{s}] =} weekday (@var{d}, [@var{form}])

which could be used to generate the usage message.

Also up until now, the internal print_usage function would display the
entire help text for the function, which I know some people found
annoying.

Even having to specify the function name in the print_usage call is
less than ideal since it means duplicating some information about the
current function.  It would be better to not have to supply the
function name and leave it to the print_usage function to find the doc
string for the current function and then format the @def... portion of
the text.  So I've modified the internal print_usage function to do
that and produce output like this

  octave:1> svd

  Invalid call to svd.  Correct usage is:

   -- Loadable Function: S = svd (A)
   -- Loadable Function: [U, S, V] = svd (A)


If the help text doesn't look like Texinfo or no @def... commands are
found, then the full text of the doc string is displayed as before.

To avoid breaking external code, we still have the function

  void print_usage (const std::string&);

but the argument is ignored and it is tagged with GCC_ATTR_DEPRECATED
so you'll get a warning about it if you use it and you are compiling
with GCC.

In addition, I made the print_usage function accessible to the
scripting language.  If (for example) the usage message in the
weekday.m file is replaced by

  print_usage ();

then incorrect usage of weekday will result in the following message:

  octave:1> weekday

  Invalid call to weekday.  Correct usage is:

   -- Function File: [N, S] = weekday (D, [FORM])


For consistency, I'd like to make all the usage messages in Octave use
this new form.  I've already converted all the C++ code.   It would be
helpful if a few volunteers could help with this task by working
through all the current script files and replacing the calls to
"usage" (or disp, fprintf, etc., in perhaps a few cases) with
print_usage.  It would probably be best to submit a separate patch for
each subdirectory in the script directory tree.  If you are interested
in helping with this project, please let me know so we can coordinate
the effort.

Also, I have a patch to update all the Octave Forge C++ functions.
Should I check it in?

Thanks,

jwe

Drop the current octave-forge way. Don't support both because it is 
ambiguous.

The help for Matlab indicates that the spline interpolation direction 
is the transpose of interp1, so it is a documented misfeature.  Since 
most other functions operate on columns by default I think the interp1 
behaviour is better, however the consensus seems to be that we will put 
up with minor annoyances such as this for the sake of compatibility.

- Paul

[OctDev] Matlab compatiable spline/csape

[David B. <Dav...@mo...>]

Trying to port some of the matlab core functions to octave core, I was 
looking at the spline, mkpp and ppval functions last night. Firstly, as 
csape is not a matlab core function, it should be ported to octave core, 
and so some portion of csape need to be cut and paste into spline.m. 
Also when y is two elements longer than x, a complete spline should be 
used, and I made this change. I also replaced things like

      c(2:n - 1,:) = trisolve(ldg,dg,udg,g);

with

      c(2:n - 1,:) = 
spdiags([[ldg(:);0],dg,[0;udg(:)]],[-1,0,1],n-2,n-2) \ g;

as the octave core sparse solver uses the lapack tridiagonal solvers if 
it can. However, I have one compatibility issue in the case where y is a 
matrix or an NDArray. Currently the octave-forge spline function allows  
an n-by-d matrix to be passed for y where n is the length of x, and the 
matrix y is treated column by column, whereas the matlab function allows 
an NDArray of the form d1-by-d2-by- ... -dk-by-n which is exactly the 
reverse. I can probably support both in the majority of cases, however 
ppval and mkpp would need to be modified to store and/or determine which 
is used. Alternatively, just using the matlab syntax would keep mkpp and 
ppval pretty much identical to what they currently are (with minor mods 
for NDArrays). Should I attempt to support both formats for NDArrays, or 
should I just drop the current octave-forge way of treating Matrixs y?

Yes, I should have said that this message only appeared after the

/usr/bin/texi2dvi: etex exited with bad status, quitting.

(I have to type RET several times in response to TeX error messages to
get this far).  It seems that there are no rules to build the required
pdf files.  Or maybe I don't have the right tools installed?  What is
needed?

Seems like its a hiccup. It probably means that there'll be no message
confirming this commit. However, I can confirm that I can successfully
check-out this change..

OK, I checked in my changes to adapt the code in Octave Forge's
main/fixed directory to build with newer versions of Octave that no
longer have DEFVAR.

When I did the commit, I saw the following message:

  sh: /cvsroot/sitedocs/CVSROOT/cvstools/syncmail: No such file or directory

[OctDev] Octave-forge developer CVS is up

[David B. <Dav...@mo...>]

Dear All,

It appears that the octave Developer CVS is finally back up with the
change of the cvs host from cvs.sourceforge.net to
octave.cvs.sourceforge.net. So don't hesitate to commit those missing
patches, particular John for the recent changes in octave core so that
we can again build octave-forge with 2.9.5+ :-)

Cheers
David

[OctDev] New CVS service for octave-forge

[David B. <Dav...@mo...>]

Dear All,

I received the attached e-mail from source-forge about the recent CVS
problems and the rolling-out of new hardware to fix this today. The
major change for us is in the CVS server name. To check-out from the
anonymous CVS server will now require a command like

cvs -d:pserver:ano...@oc...:/cvsroot/octave co
octave

and similar to checkout from the developer CVS will require a command like

cvs -d:ext:USE...@oc...:/cvsroot/octave co octave

where USERNAME is your sourceforge username. For those with a checked
out tree already, replacing all of the CVS/Root files with an
appropriately edited Root file (replace cvs.sourceforge.net with
octave.cvs.sourceforge.net) should allow you to continue to use the same
checked out tree.

Don't try this till the weekend however, as the rollout is supposed to
be today, and you'll probably not be able to access the new servers till
at least tomorrow.

Regards
David

You could try the sourceforge daily snapshot.  I don't know where it
is off hand and don't have time to find it.  Check the lists.
