This has to do with which PGPLOT module you have loaded -- Karl kindly  
put it into one version (.20, I think) but I believe he backed it out  
when TJP was completely unresponsive and RGB images were not  
integrated into the pgplot mainstream.

I suppose we could patch Karl's module again, but I would, frankly,  
rather see support for something GPL'ed (or equivalent). The Caltech  
license for PGPLOT is not Free, so (for example) it is hard to get  
support for it in the various Linix distros, and the -cd patches  
cannot be distributed together with PGPLOT itself.

I haven't checked TJP's website in a few months, so it's possible that  
something has changed -- but I doubt it.
