Re: [racket-users] Plot Problem: No Line; Bounds not found

While I completely agree that testing one's function is the best practical advice here, it also seems worth an improvement to plot. Perhaps, in addition to saying "could not determine sensible plot bounds", it could also say something like "because there were no points" and perhaps even follow up

Has anyone taught racket to kids, like middle school and above? I see some really basic articles when googling around, but i was wondering if anyone has experience with this. Would you use the picturing-programs book? I see it's built into Racket, which is nice. I was thinking of something

Hi! I've read the issue ticket and that sure sounds like the problem! I've installed 8.1.0.7 and I'll see if that addresses it. Thanks very much! On Tuesday, 15 June 2021 at 08:44:27 UTC-4 Matthew Flatt wrote: > Hi, and thanks for the report! > > That sounds like a bug that has been fixed for

I was starting to explore plot and I am getting a behavior I do not understand. plot doesn't seem to be able to figure out the bounds for something that seems pretty straight-forward. When I give bounds as an optional argument I don't see the line I expect to see. Can anyone provide me some
