I have now solved that issue by using more points to define the gradient plane
(20x20 rather than the previous 2x2, revision 10636).

BTW, 20x20 points are obviously not necessary to define a gradient plane so
the above revision should be viewed as a temporary workaround for the
"defined area edge determination bug" discussed next, and as soon as that
bug is fixed, we should be able to go to 2x2 resolution to define the
gradient plane for a much quicker result.  But the present speed of example
25 is not bad at all (less than a second) so by all means give it a try to
see what you think of our new plgradient capability.
