It should move into octave-graphics. Go through the archives and you will see that JWE made a proposal for an Octave GUI API last year. This year, I implemented a proof-of-concept part of it with (threaded) GTK and posted the code. As usual, both John's proposal and my code caused very few interest (at least, I did not see much reaction to them). -- Rafael ------------------------------------------------------------- Octave is freely available under the terms of the GNU GPL.
