From graphics-request at octave dot org Sun Oct 2 12:54:30 2005 Subject: Re: Octave-GUI, From: Shai Ayal To: Muthiah Annamalai CC: octave graphics , octave hlp Date: Sun, 2 Oct 2005 02:37:34 -0500 Muthu, Of course I agree with you on the use of FLTK (my choice for octplot). I really like the Fast & Light part. I don't really see the advantage of moving to wxWindows - putting in 150h of work just for getting slightly nicer buttons? I am afraid I can't contribute much on the IDE side since I am a cli kind of guy. One thing I do remember from my matlab IDE days is that it was good to have the figure window floating on top of the IDE. Can;t you incorporate the plot window by swallowing such a window as produced by any applications. the fvwm window manager (and probably many others) have this feature, although it might be OS defendant. This way the IDE would be independent of the graphics engine, which I think is the way octave is going -- having the graphics separate from the main interpreter.
