The axes properties "xaxislocation" and "yaxislocation" can be set to "origin" now which should be treated correctly by the gnuplot, qt and fltk graphics toolkits (the latter two work only in the dev version which will probably become Octave 4.4 next year, see bug #48562).

Closing this feature request as fixed.

This should be pretty feasible.  The fix will be in gl-render.cc.  There are three routines for drawing the axes: draw_axes_[xyz]_grid.  Within each is a call to render_tickmarks which needs to be changed.  I just did a quick hack and I got the tickmarks to be at the correct location.  A real solution would require drawing the axis line and changing how draw_axes_boxes() works since it is the current function which draws the axis line.

Numerous examples exist where the axis location is centered about some origin (often (0,0)), see, for example,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_coordinate_system

R and many other languages allow for this important feature, but not Matlab (where it is often requested). It would definitely increase the appeal of using octave as an open source alternative.
