I have a pretty obscure question that I really need answered.
Is it possible to use pplane7 with octave/qtoctave? pplane7 is a matlab script (a google search returns it as the first result) that's really really good for plotting systems of differential equations..... and I need it to do my homework.
Or otherwise, is there something in octave which could perform the same function? Thanks!!!!
I glanced at the script. It has a bunch of GUI stuff that doesn't exist in Octave. However, it could probably be ported if someone rewrote those functions with a text-mode equivalent, or even better used some real GUI and hooked it into Octave.
Have you checked octave-forge? They have some diff eq packages. All octave-forge packages should be in the Ubuntu repositories if you're using 8.10 or later.
