PolarAxes and Plotting Improvements[edit] | |||
Octave currently provides supports for polar axes by using a Cartesian 2-D axes and adding a significant number of properties and callback listerners to get things to work. What is needed is a first class implementation of a "polaraxes" object in C++. This will require creating a new fundamental graphics object type, and programming in C++/OpenGL to render the object. When "polaraxes" exist as an object type then m-files will be written to access them including polaraxes.m, polarplot.m, rticks.m, rticklabels.m, thetaticks, thetaticklabels.m, rlim.m, thetalim.m | |||
Minimum requirements | |||
Ability to read and write C++ code. Ability to read and write Octave code. Experience with OpenGL programming is optional. | |||
