Octave Online uses GNUPlot as its graphics backend, generating SVG files that are sent to the user. This is how it has worked since the early days of Octave Online.

Since Octave 6.4.0, the core team is discouraging the use of GNUPlot. I'm opening this issue to investigate alternative backends to produce plots in Octave Online.

Ideally, the new backend should make the plots more interactive so that they can be manipulated (zoomed, panned, etc) on the frontend.
