The jhandles code is not (exactly) where we are headed with graphics,
so we won't be documenting it in the Octave manual.  It is an add-on
package.  Some of the ideas in jhandles are being used in the new
OpenGL-based renderer that is currently being developed.  But jhandles
itself will probably not appear in a future Octave release.

I think you could still see that output even if you are using jhandles.

All you need to have is a copy of gnuplot that supports the pdf
terminal type.

It works for many people, so I see no reason to delete it from the
documentation.
