QtOctave is a Graphical User Interface for Gnu Octave

QtOctave is a graphical user interface for gnu octave, which is an open source program alternative to Matlab.  With QtOctave you can do perform computationally intensive mathematical tasks that would take much longer to code in C or C++ or practically any other modern computer language.  It is especailly good at matrix and vector operations.  The graphical capabilities are very advanced.  It is used heavily in engineering, and is a tool well worth learning.

This document describes how to use QtOctave.  It does not describe using octave.  Octave help is available from the menu Help->Octave Help or by clicking the Help Icon button on the toolbar.  Often tool tips are available by hovering the mouse over the various tools.
