What were you trying to do?
I plotted the function f(x)=1 (or every other CONSTANT function)
or plotted a datafile with values calculated by a constant function.
What's wrong:
After I had chosen 'Setup Axes' --> 'autoscaling ON' --> 'OK'
to activate the autoscaling mode in the graphics window
(called 'Xmath(0)') and typing 'plot f(x)' I got the error
message 'Floating point exception.' and the programm were in an
endless loop (Ctrl-Z was the only way to kill it...)
What should have happened:
Plotting a constant function should give a horizontal line in
the graphics Window.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
???
