I have looked at octave. matwrap - which is used to automatically generate the octave bindings does not support function pointers so we will have to roll our own support for those functions using this. This is not insurmountable since octave provides support for calling from C. It is probably easier than trying to add support to matwrap. It won't happen pre-release though. Once this is in place we can implement plmap and plmeridians (and also full versions of plcont etc) and add example 19. This will then complete the common API for all bindings I believe! I still want to work a bit more on tidying up the java and python interfaces for using function callbacks. Now I know how to do it there is no reason not to allow java to use user-supplied pltr functions for example. Again, probably not worth holding up a release for. I think it can be done in a backwards compatible way since java allows multiple versions of a method with different arguments.
