[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52673] fplot gives error for fplot(@(x) 0, [-2, 2])

[Kai Torben Ohlhus]

Update of bug #52673 (project octave):

              Item Group:        Unexpected Error => Matlab Compatibility   
                  Status:                    None => Confirmed              
        Operating System:       Microsoft Windows => Any

Follow-up Comment #1:

Thank you for your report.  Please consider the programming notes of fplot:


fplot requires that the function accept and return a vector argument. Consider
this when writing user-defined functions and use .*, ./, etc. See the function
vectorize for potentially converting inline or anonymous functions to
vectorized versions.


https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/XREFfplot

So in general the function fplot was called with an improper function.

Matlab R2017b also throws a bunch of warnings before finally generating the
desired plot.


Warning: Function behaves unexpectedly on array inputs. To improve
performance, properly vectorize your function to return an output with the
same size and shape as the input arguments.

Thus I declare this item as Matlab compatibility problem.
