Hi,
   As some know I've spend some time on the manual trying to update it
for 3.0. I've started at chapter 1 and read my way through the first 15
chapters, and now I find my self at the chapter on plotting. This is one
of the things that have changed a lot in the last couple of months, so I
have a couple of questions:

1) How stable is the code? I don't want to spend time documenting it if
the API will change in the near future.

the high level functions (plot etc...) are pretty stable. I don't
think their interface will change. Maybe features will be added, but
current interface will be preserved since matlab compatibility is a
goal. The low level c++ API and functions begining with __ will likely
change a lot.

2) How much can I trust the help text of the functions? Have they been
updated when the graphics handles was introduced?

3) What is the policy on including plots in the manual? The sparse
chapter has some plots, but I think it's the only one. I think it would
make sense if the chapter on plotting included some plots.

Søren

P.S. I won't have time to actually look at the chapter for about a week.
