How about in a format that can be read by Octave, along with the
command that you use to invoke the qp function?  Make it so that we
can do

  load somefile.dat
  qp (?)

where you tell us what ? should be so that we can reproduce the
problem.

Where do the numbers come from?  Is it possible to generate them with
a script?

Make it easy for us to reproduce the problem and we are more
likely to help debug it...
