Assuming that Octave 3.2 will be released in a couple of months then I don't think we need to think too much about the 3.0.x series. But that's just my opinion. > For the users who are working with gnuplot there is still a possibility to > make use of that functions if they use some workaround like the one shown as > attachment.

Just to make sure I understand: if the backend supports 3D filled patches, then your code works, right? I get the impression that you have an idea of how to make 3D patches work in the gnuplot backend. If this is true, then I think it would be wonderful if you could be persuaded into helping out implementing that in the gnuplot backend. If 3D patches are possible in the gnuplot backend, then I really think you should try to push your code into Octave core. If 3D patches are unrealistic in gnuplot, then I think it would be best to have a package here at Octave-Forge until the FLTK backend stabilises. At this point I think you should start a thread about these issues at the [email protected] list. Is that okay with you?
