* Compatibility with Matlab graphics is much better now. We now have some graphics features that work like Matlab's Handle Graphics (tm): * The way Octave handles search paths has changed. * Previous versions of Octave had a number of built-in variables to control warnings (for example, warn_divide_by_zero). These variables have been replaced by warning identifiers that are used with the warning function to control the state of warnings. * All built-in variables have been converted to functions. * For compatibility with Matlab, the output order of Octave's "system" function has changed. * For compatibility with Matlab, the output of Octave's fsolve function has been changed. * For compatibility with Matlab, normcdf, norminv, normpdf, and normrnd have been modified to compute distributions using the standard deviation instead of the variance. * For compatibility with Matlab, gamcdf, gaminv, gampdf, gamrnd, expcdf, expinv, exppdf and exprnd have been modified to compute the distributions using the standard scale factor rather than one over the scale factor.

GNU Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical
|
|
computations. It provides a convenient command line interface for
|
|
solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing
|
|
other numerical experiments using a language that is mostly compatible
|
|
with Matlab. It may also be used as a batch-oriented language.
|
|
|
|
Octave has extensive tools for solving common numerical linear algebra
|
|
problems, finding the roots of nonlinear equations, integrating
|
|
ordinary functions, manipulating polynomials, and integrating ordinary
|
|
differential and differential-algebraic equations. It is easily extensible
|
|
and customizable via user-defined functions written in Octave's own
|
|
language, or using dynamically loaded modules written in C++, C, Fortran,
|
|
or other languages.
