FW: An Octave Controls Toolbox Question

I received this email this afternoon; since it's not an OCST question,
I'm forwarding this to the group.

The answer to the question, as best I know it, is that if it can't be 
done in gnuplot, then the normal octave distribution can't do it.  
John Eaton has occasionally voiced his regret at committing to a single
package at start, and now backward compatibility haunts us all (but is
necessary).  Development of a general (but backward compatible) graphics
package would be a significant effort.

There are other octave users who have ported different plotting packages
to octave.  Search the archives at http://www.bevo.che.wisc.edu/octave
to find discussion of them and their use.

Hi Dr. Hodel,

I have been following the octave news group for the past few months
and I am very-much interested in the octave controls toolbox.  
I am currently trying to compile octave-2.1.14 on my Red Hat 
Linux 5.2 box, but I notice that MATLAB functions
such as: ginput(), gtext(), and rlocfind() are conspicuously absent.
Are these MATLAB-type functions somewhere in octave-2.1.14?
If not, is there a mechanism in octave, gnuplot, or others that will
permit the mouse click to return graphical-coordinate data?
If not, is there a plan to add that capability in the future?

Thanks,
Steve Barker
