Well, I don't know matlab, and I know only a little bit of octave. mesh() is
already very nice, I thought I'd have to write a lot of octave code to
produce that figure. But there is no way to rotate the plot with mesh()?

Those look even better, but some of the examples do not work. I guess plplot
and octaviz need some glue code so that the matlab output from xdms can use
those front ends?
