Empirically  I  found that a value of 1.45 results in a nearly 1:1:1 figure. I
wonder though if it would be  possible  to  calculate  this  value  from  some
internal  variable  of  octave.  I’d  expect  that somewhere in the code it is
either hardcoded or calculated. Does anybody know more about this?
