There is no classdef in Octave yet, though some preliminary work is 
done.. There is only the old matlab OOP style code in octave (ie tough 
with the @ directories). The matlab docs for this style of coding are at

http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/pdf_doc/matlab/pre-version_7.6_oop.pdf

and there is a chapter in the Octave manual in 3.2.2 on the OOP support 
in octave
