Re: Moving functions from octave to octave-forge?

I'll just add what's available in octplot/high_level to this list.
unless stated otherwise, they are matlab compatible with v6 graphics
-- octplot has no group objects.

We now have a working contourf and clabel in octplot/high_level thanks
to work by Kai Habel. They rely on patch of course. I see now way to
do this with gnuplot. To the best of my knowledge, nothing even
approximating patch is not even planned for gnuplot

pareto is available in octplot/high_level

Another non-matlab compatible version is in octplot (it uses line
properties which are not available in matlab, only in octplot, to draw
arrows)
