Ethan has shown it works this way:

    plot '<convert table.png avs:-' binary filetype=avs with rgbimage

Actually, I have never met an .avs file in reality.

Nowadays gnuplot is typically compiled with the gd library. Therefore it 
should be pretty easy to use the gd-library to load png/gif/jpg images 
directly. I think it may not be too much code in breaders.c. Could somebody 
contribute this feature?
