Mathworks has offered GUI building functionality as part of the product for a while. If we be Qt, then how to create GUI building in the m-file? Focus by the core group on devising the GUI/API layer that allows us all to create GUI might be time very well spent.
Of course this is probably already talked about, perhaps even already written and available.
Hi,
I have tried to be keep out of this discussion as most participants
sea to have their minds set but this touched a subject dear to me
... and so I go
I'm a ML as well as CLI relatively experienced user and I find it
unthinkable to use only the CLI when I can use the IDE. Did you guys
never used breakpoints in the ML editor? How can you live without it
once you did it once? CLI???????????
A second point is that I also find it unthinkable to try force
students to use a command window and hide from them that Matlab
exists. CLI only defenders, just try to do that and please report
your experiences with us.
Finally, the GUI topic. YES, with the fantastic work of Michael
Goffioul with QtHandles it already possible as is shown with Mirone
figure bellow

but, no roses on the way. Octave has lots of bottlenecks and an
issue even more important than IDE is Octave performance
(I'm not going to make friends here). While Octave shows up in
benchmarks positions like in
http://julialang.org/
I don't foresee a bright future ahead. And please do not invocate
users guilty on not writing fully vectorized code.
