I wasn't aware of the matlab model when I made the suggestion -- havn't used it for such a long time! Option (3) looks good for consistency: for one argument, always plot agains row index, for two arguments, plot columns of x to columns of y, using broadcasting if necessary (i.e. if either x or y is a vector).
