The FAQ says :

/The development of Octave is committed to being both compatible with Matlab
and adding additional features. Toward those ends, the development community
has chosen to introduce a native OpenGL backend that supports Matlab handle
graphics and its uicontrols. Starting with the 3.8 release, Octave now uses
OpenGL graphics by default with FLTK widgets. A Qt OpenGL toolkit is also
under development.//
//
//There are no plans to remove the gnuplot backend. While a better backend
may some day become the new default plotter, the gnuplot backend will still
be available as long as our users find it useful.


/Shouldn't this be modified, since qt is now the default in 4.0.x ?
Yes, please do. It's a wiki, don't worry about writing something wrong,
someone can edit it again.

OK, here it is: http://wiki.octave.org/FAQ#Graphics:_backends_and_toolkits
