gnuplot in Octave review

[Petr Mikulik]

"Octave by default uses the curiously-named gnuplot (it has nothing to do 
with the GNU project)"

Your review is about Octave, so why do you put this funny personal opinion 
into this text? Writing just "Octave by default uses gnuplot" would be 
objective and neutral. There is enough information about gnuplot's name in 
the link.

"but complex 3d plotting or animations are beyond gnuplot's reach."

Gnuplot supports animated gifs since March 2005. There was the matter with 
gif patents earlier. Other animation functionality is in hands of Octave.

Gnuplot is not a tool for 3D scene modelling. It has indeed some other 
limitations. However, many properties changed in recent years. Which 
"complex 3d plotting" does not it support? Can you give examples? You are 
welcome to contribute to both sides, Octave as well as gnuplot.
