Re: GSoC project: new graphics backend

[Igor V. Burago]

Hello Arseniy!

I interested on that point for a very long time too, but unfortunately I
was too busy to complete my ideas in code before. I'm sure that languages
such as Octave must have a good environment including powerful
plotting engine wrapped into an interface providing a way to modify
figure's parameters easily. So I'd like to develop such a software for
Octave or for science library written for Ruby language (which is much
more powerful than Octave, runs faster, has large number of
libraries and could be a good solution for science computation, if it
has rich package of numerical functions ported from some languages
such as Matlab or Octave).

I think idea of writing an environment for Octave (or other rich
toolkit for science computations) with new flexible plotting engine is
good one to be submitted to Summer of Code!
