I'm not the one making decisions about what goes into Octave core, and
this list isn't the right one for dealing with this issue. Martin, if
you'd like this to go straight into Octave core, then we should discuss
this on [email protected].

If the code doesn't work with gnuplot, then I would think we should wait
a while before getting this into core. At the moment I guess it's mostly
developers who are using the FLTK backend, while most users are using
gnuplot. So, it might be a bit early to push something that only works
with an experimental backend. But hey, that's just my opinion and I
don't really have much to say.

Wrt. to which package we could put this into, then the 'plot' package is
mostly an empty package, so I think it would be fine to put iso* stuff
in there. My opinion is that we have too many small packages at the
moment. This seems to cause some problems for distributors (e.g. the
Debian Octave Group), so I don't think we should create one more package
unless there is a need to. But in the end, I think it should be up to
the developer (Martin, in this case).
