using sage functions with data from octave

edit

Hello, @jamlatino! I had success with the following code:

a = octave.normrnd(50,3,100,1)
b = octave.hist(a)

bar_chart(b.sage()) # first convert the Octave object into a Sage object, and then plot

The idea behind this code is simple: When you create an Octave object, you cannot operate it with pure-Sage functions, so you have to transform the object to Sage representation first. That is what the sage() method does.

This is what I get in a particular run:

(Other software interfaces Sage defines, like maxima, GAP, etc. should have a sage() method too, for this same purpose.)

I hope this helps!
