Hi Dragan,
    I would like to know in detail about your work if you dont mind. Is 
your Visualization system meant for plotting 3D models from the 
functions ( rather than 2d plots as gnuplot does)?

    I  am also trying to develop a 3D visualization system for running 
through Octave, I would like to know if I should go ahead on my own or 
try to pick your code base and develop it more. Also please let me know 
if I can think of using opengl for visualization, I mean it is supported 
by this VTK library you are talking about. It VTK some gtk sort of thing?

Thanks in anticipation
vardhman
