Odeset - Odeget

[Roberto Porcù]

Hi everybody,

i'm working on the Octave Socis project and i developed a program which

implements a geometric integrator for Hamiltonian systems; this solver

is a spectral variational integrator. The goal is to add this function to 

OdePkg so i implemented that with the same signature of other functions of this

package, like ode45 whose arguments are (@functionHandle, time, initial_conditions, odeset).

My problem is that i need more options than those you can set with odeset,

so that i need to define new fields in odeset struct. Till now i just added

a new argument at the end, which is a struct containing these missing fields

but i think it is not very nice. 

My idea is to modify the existing odeset function, adding the possibility to

set the values of new fields that are not pre-established, just like a normal struct.

Is it reasonable or are there reasons that make it not possible?
I will really appreciate your suggestions and observations.

Thanks

Roberto
