Dear Octave maintainers,

The bug report reproduced below has been filed against the Debian 
package and regards the upstream sources.  The report is recorded at
http://bugs.debian.org/492168

Thanks,

Package: octave3.0
Version: 1:3.0.1-4
Severity: minor

The doc for shading say that three values are avalaible: flat, interp,
faceted.  I understand the first and last, but the middle one is
apparently like faceted.  I could help rewrite the docs if someone can
explain me how.

One more thing: the pcolor command starts by default as faceted.  I find
this very ugly and unclear.  Is this really intentional?  I would
definitely use flat as the default.
