Thank you  for sharing these very good methods. It opens a lot of new 
possibilities.

The way I want to use images in figure I  find it better to modify your 
script with newaxis() before plotting. This makes the picture stay  
while zooming for instance:

clf
xstring(0,0,"$\scalebox{.3}{\includegraphics{http://photos.marinetraffic.com/ais/showphoto.aspx?photoid=445734}}$"); 
g=get("current_figure"); g.figure_size=[345,575]; b=newaxes(); b.filled 
= "off"; x  =  linspace(0,20,200);
plot(x,sin(x))

By the way it would have been interesting to see an example with 
uicontrol(style="image")  that you mention. I could never get that right.
