Hi Ole

Surprise! I am still alive and finally (as of this weekend) have an internet 
connection again. I do intend to rejoin the discussion (and also finally make 
an initial release of KV) and also to put forward my viewpoint of the generic 
Octave plotting interface.

I haven't really read the whole discussion here about toolkits and suchlike, 
but what I would like to say is that my original goal for the Octave plotting 
interface was that all visualisation projects should be able to use what they 
want without interfering with each other. The only common functionality would 
be within Octave itself. The chosen vis app would be an environment variable 
in Octave or something else equally simple.

I am going on holiday for a week starting friday, but I will be back 
afterwards and will rejoin the discussion!

Speak to you all soon

Nic
