Convertable to work with Octave?

[thorntonr]

I found loadjson that works with octave that might work better than matlabjson:

Trying to see if the rest will work in octave -- i've got data in a file accumulating but it seems to be ascii and not binary.

It would be really interesting if it could be made to work with open source tools like Octave! I think the most critical part would be the reading and plotting of shapefiles and the coordinate conversion, which use toolboxes... but a simple 3D point cloud with the "bullseye" should't be a problem I think. Please report back any advances! =)
