Are there currently plans to add either of truecolor image support
(photo as a plot background for example) or 3D oriented plimagefr
support?  If not, and there is an interest in including such functions
in plplot, I would like to tackle those after getting the plimagefr
coordinate transformation support finalized.

For the truecolor image support, my thought is to have a function
along the lines of:
void plimagergba(
  PLFLT** r, PLFLT** g, PLFLT** b, PLFLT** a,
  PLINT xdim, PLINT ydim,
  PLFLT xmin, PLFLT xmax, PLFLT ymin, PLFLT ymax,
  void (*pltr) (PLFLT, PLFLT, PLFLT *, PLFLT *, PLPointer), PLPointer pltr_data)
with function arguments being used similarly to how plimage works.
With the r,g,b,a values separate, any image loading routines could be
handles on the user's end or at least abstracted on top of this.

Is there a function like plfill (and/or plfill3) which can take a RGBA
color to plot?  The plimage* functions use plfill internally.  Or is
there a better, more plplot-like way to go about this?

Thanks,
Hez
