What version of Octave are you using? The graphics are entirely
different for 2.9.9 and earlier and 2.9.10 and later. If you are using
2.9.9 or earlier then replace gset with __gnuplot_set__, Otherwise in
2.9.10 and later, I believe the only control we currently have over the
aspect ratio is axis("square") and family..
