You are right, the wording is already changed [1] but will only appear in
the next release of the package, of course.

Why do you think it is unfortunate?  The argument of rgbplot is a color map,
so that "map" seems to be fully appropriate.  Besides, there is no map()
function in Octave, such that there is no danger of confusion.  Or am I
missing something?

Thanks,
