Handle graphics plotting functions

Hi All,

during the development of OctPlot I and others are writing a lot of
high-level plotting functions which are not specific to OctPlot and
could be used in any handle graphics based graphics system (I know of
OctPLot, Oplot and JWE's hyandles for gnuplot).

These functions are all m-files and depend on the availability of
primitive handle objects such as line, patch and text. For example we
have already implemented pretty good versions of
contour,bar,barh,plot,area,stem. I suggest that in order to avoid
duplication of efforts we set up some repository for these functions.
I am willing to put them in the octplot cvs, but maybe octave-forge or
even octave would be a better place.

Any suggestions or input would be welcome
