Description Brandon Morrison 2014-02-23 00:36:50 UTC
Cantor will not run Octave graphing scripts.  I have a large data set I was trying to plot and it was not working.  Just like last time, I went back to simple concepts to see if Cantor could do those.  The following code does not run:

x = 4
y = 5
plot(x,y, 'r*')

This should print a red star at the point (4,5).  Cantor cannot even handle this simple script.  This is a major red flag for this software.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Follow instructions above
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Above


I went back and entered the code exactly in the Octave terminal, checking that each of the 3 small lines were identical in both platforms.  Terminal - no problem.  Cantor - won't run.  

The only thing I can confirm works in Cantor for both script and terminal functions is the basic matrix algebra and normal addition and subtraction.  Actual scripting seems to create problems.

Hello Brandon, this bug report is very old now. I tested it in Cantor 16.04 and I can not to reproduce this.

If you have some interest in this bug report yet, please could you test it again?

Thanks.

It is working correctly.
