I think this should be easy using the libraries libpng and jpeglib. But I
will not start working on that. The only issue to me is that I did not
understand how to use this function. What I would have needed was a
programme that converts jpeg or png to one of the gnuplot formats.

I believe that not may people will know how to deal with image support. By
the way. Is there anything written in the Gnuplot documentation which
exact file format is needed to put image data into the plot? I have not
found it yet.

At the moment, I have moved to the epslatex terminal with

set label '\includegraphics{asdf}' at ...
