yes, it comes in circles ... I wish it will converge...

It could react to interactive vs non-interactive mode of gnuplot.
(Your new patch is also OK.)


It harms because I'm using "ginput.m" under Octave (as on Octave www site).
I need to get 4 coordinates from a color map, one pair of coordinates after
another -- and it's awfully slow and boring when gnuplot redraws the map
after each click.


(And thus also -- I'm looking forward for the updated "with image" patch...)
