In octave I am used to the command hist2d. On Debian/Ubuntu this command is found in the package octave-plot (which contains also dxfwrite,
ginput, gtext, tics, tricontour, waitforbuttonpress, zoom) (apt-get install octave-plot). Now I have to use windows/cygwin, but I don't find such package.
Do you know how to install it?
Al.
The octave plot package has been unmaintained for many years. You will notice Debian no longer has it either. You can still download the package and install it manually though.
However, there's alternatives for those functions (most of them are in Octave core). For the specific case of hist2d, use hist3() from the statistics package.
