Hello Michael,

thanks for providing a new package. I see problems with image and contourf: 

octave.exe:6> contourf(peaks)

gnuplot> set palette file "-" binary record=64 using 1:2:3:4;
                                                            ^
         line 0: Gray scale not sorted in gradient.


octave.exe:7> clf,image

gnuplot> set palette file "-" binary record=64 using 1:2:3:4;
                                                            ^
         line 0: Gray scale not sorted in gradient.


I see distorted graphics in both cases and a colorbar with values in the order 
of +/- 1e30. I think this has been reported before here [1]. But is there a 
solution already?
