Last time I tried a few years ago, Octave couldn't hold a candle to Matlab's plotting functions. It's a different league.
Interesting. My experience has been the exact opposite. The quality of matlab's plots paled compared to that of Octave's.
Didn't really notice any major difference in quality... I was talking ease-of-use and richness of options.
What quality differences do you refer to?
To make sure I’m understanding you correctly, you’re saying Matlab is much better at plotting than Octave? I’ve only ever used the latter, so I guess that would be one reason to consider switching to the former.
