Re: object behavior with Octave...

[James Moliere]

John,
Please give an (small) example on how to do OOP in Octave?  A ball
object seems to be reasonable.

BTW, this code doesn't work
####################################
function [ ball ] = create_ball ()
    ball.bounce = @bounce;
    ball.add_volume = @add_volume;
    ball.set_color = @set_color;
endfunction

function ret = bounce (varargins)
        disp("called bounce");
endfunction
function ret = add_volumne (varargins)
        disp("called add_volume");
        ret = 1;
endfunction
function ret = set_color (varargins)
        disp("set_color");
        ret = 2;
endfunction
####################################

Than
