Re: Help me! Octave-FLTK.

[Robert A. Macy]

Shai:

Thank you.  Now I see two applications for FLTK.

Muthu:

Shai's excellent suggestion for a sample menu of plotting
parameters sounds good.  Especially matching what is being
plotted to the menu selections, containing all the pesky
options to enhance the plot, but remind us of all the ones
we always forget how to ask for.  

My suggestion, could be complex setup for calling a script.
 For example, I have a several scripts, instead of
functions, that change a variable here and there to watch
for the effect.  I see that the FLTK would be like "script
at a glance" where I could change a parameter, or leave it
the previous value, before running a script.  Seems very
useful enhancement to octave.  

Second example, select all the variables to save in a file.

Again, I save something like 13 to 15 variables with
unrelated names so it is difficult to write a script to
save them all.  It would be handy to have a menu that
remembers all the ones I had saved before, ask if I wish to
change any, then save the file.  

My examples, can all be worked around, but I see the
possibility for enhanced performance using the FLTK.
