[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47904] text() with the wrong sized vector or cell array gives unexpected/weird results

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #47904 (project octave):

I'm the one who re-wrote most of text.m to get it close to Matlab
compatibility.  It was very difficult, hence the note I left at the top of the
code:


## Note: The following code is rigged for Matlab compatibility and is
##       full of hidden assumptions.  Be very wary when modifying.


I have absolutely no ego with someone else modifying this code.  However, make
sure you test, test, TEST the final m-file to make sure compatibility with
Matlab hasn't been broken.

I agree that Octave should, at the very least, produce an error for the case
of 500 points and 499 labels.

The slow plotting speed for scatter has been reported before.  See bug #40663.
 It turns out *not* to be a trivial problem to solve.

To convert between a cell array of strings and a 2-D character matrix use the
function char().
