This is really cool.

One way in which plot may not be quite done: in matlab, if you plot a matrix, it plots each column as a separate line. Winston treats the matrix as if it's the corresponding "unwrapped" vector.

Few other critical ones could be

• [ ] arrow
• [ ] label

Also, with our current syntax, it might be more clear to change plotyy to oplotyy. I can not think of a situation where one would like to plot only to second axis...

Kernel density estimation, which basically smooths a histogram.

• [ ] density

I have already written a basic smooth-option for plothist2dbut have not submitted a pull request yet...

[milktrader]

Cool, do you have it in a branch of your fork for others to take a peek at?

[natj]

The code can be seen on pull request #106. It is however, by no means comparable to matlabs ksdensity

plot now handles matrices.

Hey, that's awesome! Thanks!

I came here to submit a feature request for stem(). Glad to see it is already on the list. Keep up the good work, Winston generates great looking plots.

[dexterdev]

me too wants stem(). Thanks for the good works.
