Hi Rui,

Please see:

  http://users.powernet.co.uk/kienzle/octave/
  http://users.powernet.co.uk/kienzle/octave/matcompat/

and notice how, for instance, shaded color plots such as:

  a = rand(20,20);
  surf(a), view(2), shading interp

are not readily produced in current octave versions.

And please understand that I do not in any way mean to belittle Octave.
Its a very useful and cool tool.  Its good stuff.  But its not a drop-in
replacement for many MatLAB uses.

Ed
