Hi

In trying to implement NaN's for octplot I took some of the code from
octave, which includes a run-time calculation of NaN

Is there any any reason that it was implemented this way and not by
using the nan function (C99 standard) or strtod("NaN",0), which is
supposed to be ANSI C?

(these two ways were pointed to me by Bruno Rogerri)
