Using svg format for the web page would also be a good point:
* it is scalable
* it is the only format that has the grid line transparency right

I tried to reproduce the current website images using qt (it was gunplot
right?). I attached the svg images produced using the current dev version of
gl2ps [1] ( simpleplot.svg
<http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/file/n4680475/simpleplot.svg>  , 
sombrero.svg
<http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/file/n4680475/sombrero.svg>  ).

[1] previous versions use the "baseline-shift" attribute for text vertical
alignment, which is not supported by firefox and librsvg at least.
