[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #43717] rats LEN Matlab incompatibility

[Rik]

Update of bug #43717 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Need Info

Follow-up Comment #2:

The documentation for Matlab now makes this quite clear.  According to them,
the construction of a rational approximation with rats() is done via the
function rat and a tolerance.


[N,D] = rat(X,tol)
where tol is min(10^(-(strlen-1)/2)*norm(X(isfinite(X)),1),.1)


I agree with the original reporter that I wouldn't bother to fix this as
Octave's solution seems better.

One thing I do notice is that Matlab seems to have changed the default length
to 13 from 9.  Should Octave make that change?
