Thanks, VergilI wasn't familiar with Wind Rose plots, so I looked it up. http://www.novalynx.com/reference-wind-rose.html As Octave's doesn't handle polar plots in a nice way, I don't think there exists a convenient method to produce such plots. To use Octave for this purpose, you'll have to draw the polar axes and use patch objects to produce the Wind Rose. Ben
Matlabcentral has a routine for this http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/17748-windrose but look at the discussion http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Mathworks-hosted-GPL-d-software-td1638533.html and in particular the message http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Mathworks-hosted-GPL-d-software-td1638533i26.htmland then think about sending a message to the author (address@hidden) asking him to give you a copy without the terms of service restriction of mathcentral. Otherwise as someone copied it from mathcentral to
http://code.google.com/p/m--pack/source/browse/trunk/_graph/wind_rose.m?r=10 you can get it from there D.
