==Adding a quadl like integrator to octave==
 
quadl is an adaptive quadrature function available in MATLAB (from version 6 I think). It is very fast and accurate and surprisingly it's a small m-file. The algorithm is based on works by Prof. Walter Gander.
 
Prof. Gander has two m files in his web page http://www.inf.ethz.ch/personal/gander/ which implement his algorithm along with a paper describing the algorithm.
 
I have not delved deeply into the subject, but the adaptlobe.m function looks equivalent to quadl. Compatibility with MATLAB could be achieved by writing a small quadl wrapper function which simply calles adaptlobe, or by changing adabtlobe's name to quadl.
 
I have contacted Prof. Gander to allow for distribution of his m-files in octave-forge.

==Symbolic==
===Symbolic Manipulation===
Octave is a matrix algebra tool, not a symbolic algebra tool, so it cannot perform symbolic operations, such as finding the derivative of sine(x) with respect to x
 
y = derivative('sin(x)','x'); # Not available in Octave
 
The below mentioned GiNaC will add symbolic functionality to octave.
 
===Octave interfaces to GiNaC===
There are two Octave interfaces to GiNaC[1] available


===Supporting library===
*gino -- http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/mtt (download) provides an Octave interface to GiNaC via ginsh
[http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/gdcm/index.php?title=Main_Page GCDM]. I think the libraries must be built. Getting source with subversion.


  svn co https://gdcm.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gdcm/branches/gdcm-2-0
  octave:1> df = g_diff ( "sin(x)" , "x" )
df = cos(x)
octave:2> x = pi; eval ( df );
ans = -1


cmake and g++ are required. create a gdcmbin directory parallel to the gdcm-2-0 directory. Change to gdcmbin and then run cmake (Linux/cygwin).
*OctaveForge provides direct access to GiNaC in the [http://octave.sourceforge.net/index/navsymbolic.html symbolic package]. Here is a http://wiki.octave.org/wiki.pl?OctaveForgeGNCIntro short tutorial] to get you started.


> mkdir gdcmbin
===Numerical methods===
> ls
In some instances, Octave can give reasonable results using numerical methods
gdcmbin gdcm-2-0
> cd gdcmbin
> cmake -DGDCM_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON ../gdcm-2-0/


This creates a Makefile in your gdcmbin directory. You can easily edit cmake options with "make edit_cache", for example to build applications like gdcmdump. "make help" is also very useful.
*Octave supports numerical derivatives:


  make install
  t = linspace(0,6,100);
y = sin(t);
dydt = diff(y) ./ diff(t)
*OctaveForge has other numerical derivative functions.


On my system, I also had to add this to my ~/.bashrc.

===Questions===

I don't have a Matlab license available. I would like to make this package compatible with the dicom functions in Matlab's image processing toolbox, as far as possible.


*Octave (and Matlab) stores images (y,x) and DICOM is intrinsically (x,y). Does Matlab transpose images when it loads them?
A list of some other scientific software is available at http://sal.kachinatech.com/
**matlab reads the data from the dicom file as if it's a raw block of numbers (and then converts if necessary). Therefore, current Octave/dicom behaviour is compatible with matlab.
*I would like people to try m-files that worked with Matlab to let me know of problems.
*(not necessarily) Matlab related: I need examples of odd DICOM files. I have plenty with complex metadata, but I need some with unusual images.
**More than one sample per pixel
**Colour
**Float types
*DA (date) VR: does Matlab turn them into a string?
*if the user supplies metadata (eg HighBit?, BitsStored?) that describe the type of the pixels and this is not in agreement with the type of the image matrix supplied, does Matlab
**silently convert the image pixel type to match the metadata?
**silently convert the metadata to match the pixel type?
**error and do nothing?
*What does dicominfo do when a tag is not in its dictionary: skip it or give error? I was wondering about turning the tag into a variable name, something like Tag_3243_0010. (Matlab 6.5 (2002): Private__3243_0010)
*dicominfo: Items in sequences are not necessarily the same, so cannot be stored in arrays of structs. (Matlab 6.5 (2002): makes nested structs like dcm.RTDoseROISequence?.Item_1.DoseUnits?)

Communications Toolbox[edit]

OctaveForge now contains a fairly complete implementation of a Matlab R13 compatible communications toolbox http://octave.sourceforge.net/communications/index.html. This includes

  • Random signal creation/analysis
  • Source coding (Quantization, Compand)
  • Block coding (BCH, Reed-Solomon)
  • Modulations (QASK, PSK, etc)
  • Galois fields of even order [i.e. GF(2^m) ]

With a recent version of the OctaveForge installed (version 20030602 or later), online help is available with the command

octave:1> comms info

There are still functions missing or with limitations, and the documentation is not complete. You are therefore welcome to send patches.
