Hi,
I am planning to put together an Octave program that can handle a collection of data and algorithms. I am going for an approach were all of the functionality is gathered in and managed by one main object "X". And the aim is to develop the code continuously over a potentially long stretch of time.
The program will be quite easy to use through the Octave command window, but a more modern-style and intuitive GUI would be of great value. However, due to the dynamic long-term development of the Octave class that defines X, it would be a significant and undesirable undertaking to keep the GUI up-to-date manually. Therefore I'm pondering the idea of building a GUI generator that creates a tailored GUI as it loads the most recent version of X.
Does such a GUI generator seem like realistic and manageble technology? Have you come across the idea elsewhere? Could I handle Octave and X through Java, for instance?
/Peter
