Nice. Interesting approach. I also thought about creating a GUI builder
and was playing with the ui* function the last days
(http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/bildschirmfoto-10072016-222917.php).

My idea was to build the GUI-builder directly in Octave with ui*
functions so I'm able to move objects, change color, font and so on and
immediately see the change. And there wouldn't be a need for another
parser/converter.

Have you found documentation about Matlabs intermediate data structures?
John linked http://undocumentedmatlab.com/blog/fig-files-format

My point of building the GUI-builder within Octave was:
* using them extensively will uncover bugs and missing features
* platform independent (would also run on windoze, the typical user
might have problems installing glade on it)
* WYSIWYG

What do you think?
