Here is the line of code. my Question is why does #2 take more time than #1. 1) fplot('sin(x)',[0 2*pi],1e-2) 2) fplot('sin(x)',[0 2*pi],1e-6) Thanks

From the documentation for fplot:
-----
fplot(fun,limits,tol) plots fun using the relative error tolerance tol (the default is 2e-3, i.e., 0.2 percent accuracy).
. . .
fplot uses adaptive step control to produce a representative graph, concentrating its evaluation in regions where the function's rate of change is the greatest.
-----
It seems to me that a tolerance of 1E-6 would require more steps — and therefore more time to execute — than a tolerance of 1E-2.
