Examples

# Plot a scatter-plot plus a fitted line, for each combination of measurements
vars = {"Ozone", "SolarR", "Wind", "Temp" "Month", "Day"};
n_vars = numel (vars);

  for j = 1:n_vars
    if (i == j)

    hax = subplot (n_vars, n_vars, ix_subplot);
    var_x = vars{i};
    var_y = vars{j};
    x = t.(var_x);
    y = t.(var_y);
    scatter (hax, x, y, 10);
    # Fit a cubic line to these points
    # TODO: Find out exactly what kind of fitted line R's example is using, and
    # port that.
