Plotting arrays against each other

[Brenton]

Hi, I started numerical computing in MATLAB and it is the math software I am the most familiar with hence why I was wondering if it is possible to plot two column vectors (that are in the form of two (N+1)x1 arrays) against each other. I have tried plot(x,y) but it gave the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

I am running Sage 6.6 via VirtualBox, if relevant.

Maybe point2d and zip can help?
Could you provide an example
(maybe the example that triggers
the error you quoted)?
