The listed "interfacing with octave" is under "graphic output display program". Some gnucap users are already using octave as a data analysis tool with gnucap. The suggested project is to use octave to build a user-friendly extendable flexible graphic display for gnucap. If you want to do this you should first be intimately familiar with octave in this kind of application. You should be able to show us examples of how you have done this. Otherwise, you could spend the whole summer learning the basics of octave, which is not what we want. I see this as mostly programming in octave, very little C++. If you want to program in C++, you might be better off with the other approach, writing a new graphic display program or graphic display plugin. You need to learn GTK, but I think that should be easier than learning advanced octave if you don't already know it. Incidentally .... it was tempting to mention "gnuplot" here, but gnuplot is not affiliated with GNU, not distributed under GPL, and its license is not GPL compatible. The fact that the licence is not GPL compatible means that we cannot use it here. _______________________________________________ Gnucap-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucap-devel
