A few comments:  There's nothing wrong with a library function having some code 
that sets graphics properties.  On the other hand, the issue may ultimately go 
back to the level of the graphics driver, and a MarkerSize of 12 for one driver 
may look different for that of another driver.  If the marker size of 12 is 
consistently small for all plots, then zplane.m is not the place to fix this.  
There has been a lot of activity on graphics code in the main Octave 
development over the past year or two, so this issue of marker size *may* have 
been addressed.  (I don't follow that effort closely.)  Make sure for something 
that depends on core Octave that you have the latest version of developer 
Octave, as bundles like Ubuntu, SUSE, etc. are often lagging behind.
