Matlab style images

[Søren Hauberg]

Hi
I often have to move my code from Octave to Matlab to Octave (and so 
forth), so sometimes I get into trouble, because Matlab works with 
different kinds of images than Octave. Octave works with images of 
doubles, and rgb images are 3 gray scale matrices. Matlab, on the other 
hand, works with more types (uint8, logical, etc,..) and rgb images are 
3-dimensional matrices.

Usualy this is not a problem, but sometimes it is. So I'd love it if 
Octave supported matlab style images. I've altered most of the existing 
functions in Octave to support this, although they aren't tested very well.

Now my question is:
Is there interest in adding support for matlab style images to Octave? 
If so I'll be sending patches as soon as I've done some more testing.

/Søren
