I've posted recently some scripts to output results with superficie
(plot3, quiver3, surf) and played a bit with an output with the
GNU plotutils.

Anyway, I was wondering, if there is any kinf of infrastructure in
Octave 2.1.x for multiple packages.

In particular, how should these kind of new interfaces be added.

Should the plot/mesh etc command read an environment variable to chose
which package to use? Or should they simply have sightlly different
names?

How should I access the informations for titles, axis labels etc?

Is this work welcomed?

Let me know,

Peter
