isnt ';' a scalar operator?

[Daniel Heiserer]

Hi I would like to use the legend stuff 
and for that I like to create a vector of strings
containing the ';'.

>> ';'*ones(length(dofs),1)
error: operator *: nonconformant arguments (op1 is 1x1, op2 is 8x1)
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 10, column 4


Unfortunately this doesnt work:
';'*ones(length(dofs),1)

That works, but is a little bit ugly.
setstr(abs(';')*ones(length(dofs),1))

Daniel
