[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #39433] subplot sizes wrong

[Ben Abbott]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #39433 (project octave):

Michael,

Matlab's implementation of subplot always aligns the plot boxes.  The "align"
option rigidly aligns the axes "position" properties.  Meaning as the axes
labels and/or ticklabels grow in size the "position"s of the subplots do not
change.  This is also what Octave appears to be doing when "align" is
specified.

In the sans "align" case, Matlab compensates the "position" property to ensure
that the axes labels and ticklabels do not encroach beyond the
"outerposition". Octave just treats each subplot as an independent axis with
activepositionproperty = outerposition, and looseinset = [0 0 0 0].

I'm still have conceptual problems reconciling what I observe Octave to be
doing and what is written in the code.
