how to plot sine wave for a range of values like
0,707,1000,707,0,-707,-1000,-707

plot(sin([0,707,1000,707,0,-707,-1000,-707]));

Myself, I have seldom found a use for taking the sine of
1000 radians, but I suppose it happens.

I guess I took him to mean that he wanted to have the
result pass through those values. They look like a unit
sine wave with a scalar offset. <shrug>
