## Compute and display a stem and leaf plot of the vector @var{x}.
##
## The input @var{x} should be a vector of integers.  Any non-integer values
## will be converted to integer by @code{@var{x} = fix (@var{x})}.  By default
## each element of @var{x} will be plotted with the last digit of the element
## as a leaf value and the remaining digits as the stem.  For example, 123
## will be plotted with the stem @samp{12} and the leaf @samp{3}.  The second
## argument, @var{caption}, should be a character array which provides a
## description of the data.  It is included as a heading for the output.
##
## The optional input @var{stem_sz} sets the width of each stem.
## The stem width is determined by @code{10^(@var{stem_sz} + 1)}.
## The default stem width is 10.
##
## The output of @code{stemleaf} is composed of two parts: a
## "Fenced Letter Display," followed by the stem-and-leaf plot itself.
## The Fenced Letter Display is described in @cite{Exploratory Data Analysis}.
## Briefly, the entries are as shown:

##
## With no return argument, the plot is immediately displayed.  If an output
## argument is provided, the plot is returned as an array of strings.
##
## The leaf digits are not sorted.  If sorted leaf values are desired, use

## Description: Compute stem and leaf plot

function plotstr = stemleaf (x, caption, stem_sz)
  ## Compute and display a stem and leaf plot of the vector x.  The x
  ## vector is converted to integer by x = fix(x).  If an output argument
  ## is provided, the plot is returned as an array of strings.  The
  ## first element is the heading followed by an element for each stem.
  ##
  ## The default stem step is 10.  If stem_sz is provided the stem
  ## step is set to: 10^(stem_sz+1).  The x vector should be integers.
  ## It will be treated so that the last digit is the leaf value and the
  ## other digits are the stems.
  ##
  ## When we first implemented stem and leaf plots in the early 1960's
  ## there was some discussion about sorting vs. leaving the leaf
  ## entries in the original order in the data.  We decided in favor of
  ## sorting the leaves for most purposes.  This is the choice
  ## implemented in the SNAP/IEDA system that was written at that time.
  ##
  ## SNAP/IEDA, and particularly its stem and leaf plotting, were further
  ## developed by Hale Trotter, David Hoagland (at Princeton and MIT),
  ## and others.
  ##
  ## Tukey, in EDA, generally uses unsorted leaves.  In addition, he
  ## described a wide range of additional display formats.  This
  ## implementation does not sort the leaves, but if the x vector is
  ## sorted then the leaves come out sorted.  A simple display format is
  ## used.
  ##
  ## I doubt if providing other options is worthwhile.  The code can
  ## quite easily be modified to provide specific display results.  Or,
  ## the returned output string can be edited.  The returned output is an
  ## array of strings with each row containing a line of the plot
  ## preceded by the lines of header text as the first row.  This
  ## facilitates annotation.
  ##
  ## Note that the code has some added complexity due to the need to
  ## distinguish both + and - 0 stems.  The +- stem values are essential
  ## for all plots which span 0. After dealing with +-0 stems, the added
  ## complexity of putting +- data values in the correct stem is minor,
  ## but the sign of 0 leaves must be checked.  And, the cases where the
  ## stems start or end at +- 0 must also be considered.
  ##
  ## The fact that IEEE floating point defines +- 0 helps make this
  ## easier.
  ##
  ## Michael D. Godfrey   January 2013

  ## More could be implemented for better data scaling.  And, of course,
  ## other options for the kinds of plots described by Tukey could be
  ## provided.  This may best be left to users.

  ## Note that IEEE 754 states that -+ 0 should compare equal. This has
  ## led to C sort (and therefore Octave) treating them as equal.  Thus,
  ## sort([-1 0 -0 1]) yields [-1 0 -0 1], and sort([-1 -0 0 1])
  ## yields: [-1 -0 0 1].  This means that stem-and-leaf plotting cannot
  ## rely on sort to order the data as needed for display.
  ## This also applies to min()/max() so these routines can't be relied
  ## upon if the max or min is -+ 0.
