Hi,

are you sure you call maxima from within octave to do the plotting (or 
the other qay around, since your model is implemented in Maxima)? Either 
way, it is certainly not the optimal way to go. Both Maxima and octave 
have excellent plotting capabilities so that you shouldn't need to call 
the other for the plotting.

As for the GUI stuff, Maxima has a nice frontend called wxmaxima, but 
afaik no options to build GUIs. Concerning octave, I don't know if 
there's functionality to build GUIs, but if there is, I wouldn't expect 
something like GUIDE in Matlab but rather something much simpler.

Laurent
