Build a filter, get a $$$$ grand!
Thanks for the link. I have never developed plug ins before.
I have switched from Matlab to Octave for both research and teaching. (General programming, not plug-ins.)
Octave is open source and runs on Linux/Win/Mac. The (simple) GUI works on all platforms.
gnu.org/software/octaveOctave is not as well developed, and lacks the special toolboxes.
It also lacks the realtime "Simulink" Matlab environment.
I still use Matlab for data acquisition, in particular, connection to National Instruments DAQ hardware, running under Windows 7.
