I would consider going "old school" -- use Tcl/Tk to collect data via forms
and write munged output to a file, then "exec" Octave on that file
outputting to other files, and use your Tcl/Tk app to collect and display
the images and output from the file system.

This would be cross platform, easy, and Tcl/Tk is very well maintained
(thriving in its currently small ecosystem).

The main problem is that the cool kids will laugh at you because you aren't
using Ruby, but they always laughed at me anyway...

Just a thought, not sure if the best way depending on your need.
