Re: eig(A,'nobalnace') normalized eigenvectors. Help says otherwise

Help on eig says:

"Note For eig(A), the eigenvectors are scaled so that the norm of each is 1.0. For eig(A,B), eig(A,'nobalance'), and eig(A,B,flag), the eigenvectors are not normalized."

But I am getting them out to be normalized when using 'nobalance'. Am I overlooking something here?

Maybe it's just a coincidence with your A:

>> A=rand(2);
>> [v,lam]=eig(A);v

v =

0.8379 -0.3634
0.5458 0.9316

>> [v,lam]=eig(A,'nobalance');v

v =

1.0000 -0.3901
0.6513 1.0000

I really do not want Matlab to normalize my eigenvectors for me, I'll do it myself, thank you very much !

I don't see what the problem is here. Denormalizing is easy to do by hand.
