make output format a valid input format

An output format that prints valid input commands, so one can copy and re-execute the code. From IRC

(04:57:05 PM) jwe: It might not be too hard to implement what you want. There is a flag in the pr-output functions for pr_as_read_format and many (but probably not all) of the types that are printed there do something with that. And it is not hooked in to the format function, so you can't enable it.

(04:57:31 PM) jwe: pr-output.cc and pr_as_read_syntax

extend sub2ind and ind2sub

We are extending sub2ind and ind2sub to work with triangular matrices. Currently private functions of mechanics. A string argument triggers the behavior. The string argument can be "triu" or "tril". After this str argument we accept an extra scalar value indicating that the triangular matrix is off diagonal (as in tril and triu). So, the first modification to the C++ code will be

Check if any of the argument is a str.
Check what kind of triangular matrix (up or low).
If the argument after the str argument is a scalar, it indicates off diagonal triangular matrix (we do not have algo for that yet, though).

quaternion mpower.m

Non-negative matrix factorization

Add nmf_bpas and nmf-pg to linear-algebra ✔

Get nmf_toolbox from DTU under free license. ✔
- Add it to linear-algebra and create nnmf.m compatible with MATLAB calling all the methods.

Biomechanics

~~Ask Stewart Heitmann to release under GPLv3.~~
Ask Andrea d'Avella to release under GPLv3 or equivalent. Waiting for answer. KaKiLa 03:54, 9 March 2012 (PST)

Robotics Toolbox

Robotics_package

Port Robotics Toolbox. Started: Google group. Peter released an old version for Octave under GPLv3.
Complete quaternion_oo wrapper.
Ask Emanuel Todorov to release under GPLv3 or equivalent.
MPK apparently is non-Free. Discussing.

Matgeom

Geometry_package

Working on graphs:

Porting. ✔
Write demos.

Finish the port:

polygons2d
meshes
polygons3d

Development:

iscw and isccw
cw2ccw and ccw2cw

Mechanics

Mechanics_package

Consider multiple makefiles. Look how it was done in instrument-control
DMOC code generation.
Improve verlet integrator. A odepkg compatible version?

TISEAN

Start port of TISEAN.

Gaussian Processes

Asked for a GPLv3 version of GPML. They answer but license is FreeBSD. A new version is comming out in June 2012, so I will wait to start the port.

real2rgb

Porting the package. May be good to port SC as well
