Tesseract Documentation

What is Tesseract?

Tesseract is a user interface for GNU Octave. Although octave is versatile it still lacks of an good and free user interface. Tesseract forks the QtOctave project after the development was given up by its original author. Though qtoctave was still a very young project it offers a good code base for further development. We thank P.L. Lucas for the good programming job and wish him good luck.

What changed since the project was forked

The first what was done is to prepare the project for multi architecture and multi ide development. This means that it should be possible to develop with an ide which is common to its operation system. On windows systems it is visual studio. Unfortunately i do not have any any cross platform experience so if you can and want to help to port it to any other operation system feel free and send me a message or commit.

What are the future goals for this project

Reduce redundant coding and (re)use existing and well-established solutions. As this project is GPL it can re use a lot of existing and well programmed code from the GNU community.

Data visualisation

The main visualisation tool will be gnuplot. It is also planned to find a way to for live interaction with the plot window for zoom/rotation/... and all the other things which are crucial for data analysations.

Revision Control System

The development of the SimpleRCS will be given up. It is planned to integrate Git/SVN/Mercurial.
