I   tried  to set plotboxaspectratio at various places but the output file‐

I found the problem. If I comment out
axis ([0,1,0,1,0,1], "equal");
it works as expected. Is this behavior intended?

Yes, that is intended.  It isn't possible to specify the axis limits, the plotboxaspectratio, and the dataaspectratio, at the same time.  I don't think Octave's docs discuss this point.  There is a discussion at the link below (about 1/3 down the page).
