I propose to remove the verification.

I've already met a trouble where plotting of an experimental map (in gnuplot 
binary format) was refused because "equidistant" stepper motor positions 
were above the built-in tolerance.

If a user wants to draw a non-equistant map, then he should use with pm3d, 
not with image.
