Hello,

Since I am new on this list, I'd like to know what's the status on the
octave-graphics-project. I am a regular octave user and I am getting a
bit frustrated with the current gnuplot solution. 

I thought about a modular server-client solution where a server stores
the plot-information in a struct/class. Octave would be a client that
plots in the server by a series of get/set commands to gain matlab
compatibility. plotting devices will also be clients. In a first
implementation this can be a connection to gnuplot but since it is
modular a new interface (for instance using GNOME) can be made.

I am willing to cooperate in a project that will expand octaves graphical
capabilities.

greetings,

Tim
