Query or set the internal variable that controls whether Octave will use a scaled format to print matrix values such that the largest element may be written with a single leading digit with the scaling factor is printed on the first line of output. For example,
octave:1> logspace (1, 7, 5)' ans = 1.0e+07 * 0.00000 0.00003 0.00100 0.03162 1.00000Notice that first value appears to be zero when it is actually 1. For this reason, you should be careful when setting
fixed_point_format
to a nonzero value.
