I don't know which version of Octave you are using, but I'll assume  
you are using the latest release. If you change the papersize property  
for the figure,  that should do what you want. For example, I expect  
the following will produce a result whose size is 2.5x3.5 inches.

        set (gcf, "papersize", [2.5, 3.5])

I'd appreciate it if you give that a try and let me know what the  
result is. It is likely that there is a bug here. If so either myself  
or someone else should fix it.
