This is really cool.

One way in which plot may not be quite done: in matlab, if you plot a matrix, it plots each column as a separate line. Winston treats the matrix as if it's the corresponding "unwrapped" vector.

natj commented 10 years ago

Few other critical ones could be

[ ] arrow
[ ] label

natj commented 10 years ago

Also, with our current syntax, it might be more clear to change plotyy to oplotyy. I can not think of a situation where one would like to plot only to second axis...

Kernel density estimation, which basically smooths a histogram.

[ ] density

natj commented 10 years ago

I have already written a basic smooth-option for plothist2dbut have not submitted a pull request yet...

milktrader commented 10 years ago

Cool, do you have it in a branch of your fork for others to take a peek at?

natj commented 10 years ago

The code can be seen on pull request #106. It is however, by no means comparable to matlabs ksdensity

nolta commented 10 years ago

plot now handles matrices.

timholy commented 10 years ago

Hey, that's awesome! Thanks!

JayKickliter commented 10 years ago

I came here to submit a feature request for stem(). Glad to see it is already on the list. Keep up the good work, Winston generates great looking plots.

dexterdev commented 10 years ago

me too wants stem(). Thanks for the good works.
