[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #55634] 2-D plots should ignore z-argument of "plotboxaspectratio"

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #55634 (project octave):

Definitely an improvement.  I would say that this resloves the problem with
2-D aspect ratios.  But a problem still remains with 3-D aspect ratios.  Take
the same code, but display the third dimension.


t = linspace (0, 2*pi, 100);
y = sin (t);
plot (t, y);
axis equal

If I check with the Z limits with zlim() I find [-1, 1].  The plot can be made
to appear again if I set the Z limits to something smaller such as [-.002
+.002].  This appears to be what Matlab does.  If I set the limits with


zlim ([-1, 1])


in Matlab then the plot disappears there as well.

I think Matlab will adjust the limits of the data, as long as "zlimmode" is
"auto", when "dataaspectratio" and "plotboxaspectratio" are adjusted.  My
guess is that Octave does not do that.  Maybe there is another special
exception going on, because it does update the X and Y limits when I enter the
command
