Editing GNU Octave (section)

==User interfaces==
Octave comes with an official [[graphical user interface]] (GUI) and an [[integrated development environment]] (IDE) based on [[Qt (software)|Qt]]. It has been available since Octave 3.8,<ref name="auto1">{{Cite web|url=https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/NEWS-3.8.html|title=GNU Octave Version 3.8|website=www.gnu.org}}</ref> and has become the default interface (over the [[command-line interface]]) with the release of Octave 4.0.<ref name="auto"/> 
It was well-received by an EDN contributor, who wrote "[Octave] now has a very workable GUI" in reviewing the then-new GUI in 2014.<ref>{{cite web |last=Hageman |first=Steve |date=7 February 2014 |title=GNU Octave hits a high note |url=http://www.edn.com/electronics-blogs/the-practicing-instrumentation-engineer/4428091/GNU-Octave-hits-a-high-note |website=[[EDN (magazine)|EDN]]}}</ref>

Several 3rd-party graphical front-ends have also been developed, like [[Toolbox (software)|ToolboX]] for coding education.
