When the image code was new, I started a little effort to use it to put a
scanned image in a plot. After some reading I decided not to continue the
work on it because I did not even know how to convert, say a png, to the
specific gnuplot image format. Thus, I failed to use the image support. In
my opinion, adding at least two common image formats, png (loss-less) and
jpg (with losses), would really be helpful. At the moment, gnuplot only
supports a "private" format, right?

Best regards
