This is interesting.  According to Matlab documentation, if manual axis limits, data aspect ratio, and plotbox aspect ratio are all specified then  Matlab chooses to honor the first two (limits and data aspect ratio).  When all three are set in Octave it prioritizes data aspect ration and plot box ratio and sacrifices axis limits.

A simpler example is


plot (1:0.5:5.5, 1:10, 'o-')
axis equal
axis tight


Rendering is wrong.  But what is worse is that directly setting limits does not work.  Trying


xlim ([1, 5.5])


set the "xlim" property correctly, but the plot pays no attention to this value.

I checked axis.m in version 7.3 and it uses m-file code to find the minimum and maximum of the plotted data and then sets those limits.  On the development branch, this functionality has apparently been moved to C++ code.  The m-file code in axis.m is now


      elseif (strcmpi (opt, "tight"))
        ## sets the axis limits to the min and max of all data.
        set (ca, "xlimmode", "auto", "ylimmode", "auto", ...
                 "zlimmode", "auto", ...
                 "xlimitmethod", "tight", "ylimitmethod", "tight",
                 "zlimitmethod", "tight");

7.3 also got it right.

This is a regression: I tested with Octave 6.4 and it works as expected.

Desired output (from Matlab) is shown below.



But, Octave output below does not do a tight ylimit.

Code to reproduce is shown below and attached as tst_axis_tight.m.


[X,Y] = meshgrid(-3:6/17:3);
XX = 2*X.*Y;
YY = X.^2 - Y.^2;
colorscale = [1:18; 18:-1:1];
C = repmat(colorscale,9,1);

pcolor(XX,YY,C);

axis equal
axis tight
