32.4 Plotting on top of Images
==============================
If gnuplot is being used to display images it is possible to plot on top
of images. Since an image is a matrix it is indexed by row and column
values. The plotting system is, however, based on the traditional (x,
y) system. To minimize the difference between the two systems Octave
places the origin of the coordinate system in the point corresponding to
the pixel at (1, 1). So, to plot points given by row and column values
on top of an image, one should simply call ‘plot’ with the column values
as the first argument and the row values as the second. As an example
the following code generates an image with random intensities between 0
and 1, and shows the image with red circles over pixels with an
intensity above 0.99.
I = rand (100, 100);
[row, col] = find (I > 0.99);
hold ("on");
imshow (I);
plot (col, row, "ro");
hold ("off");
