<p>Octave can plot a function from a function handle inline function or
string defining the function without the user needing to explicitly
create the data to be plotted. The function <code>fplot</code> also generates
two-dimensional plots with linear axes using a function name and limits
for the range of the x-coordinate instead of the x and y data. For
example,
<pre class="example"> fplot (@sin, [-10, 10], 201);
</pre>
<p class="noindent">produces a plot that is equivalent to the one above, but also includes a
legend displaying the name of the plotted function.

plot, and if <var>tol</var> is an integer it is assumed that it defines the
number points to use in the plot. The <var>fmt</var> argument is passed
to the plot command.

<p>Other functions that can create two-dimensional plots directly from a

<p>Plots in two-dimensions the curve defined by <var>f</var>. The function
<var>f</var> may be a string, inline function or function handle and can
have either one or two variables. If <var>f</var> has one variable, then
the function is plotted over the domain <code>-2*pi < </code><var>x</var><code> < 2*pi</code>

<p>If <var>f</var> has two variables then <var>f</var><code>(</code><var>x</var><code>,</code><var>y</var><code>) = 0</code>

are determined by the first two elements and the minimum and maximum
of <var>y</var> by the second pair of elements.
<p><var>n</var> is a scalar defining the number of points to use in plotting
the function.
