Re: Octave-GUI,

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.
