Just to clarify what I’m looking for: If I have an NxM matrix in octave it can
be visualized with imagesc such that each value of the matrix is mapped to the
current color‐map and displayed as a kind of 2D histogram viewed from top. I’d
like to save this as an image without any annotation but with the same  color‐
mapping e.g. as a PNG with NxM pixels.
Is this still possible in octave 3.x?

Thanks for any hints or help.
