 So, I think gnuplot and matlab are doing the what is intended (i.e. no bug) ... at least they seem to do the correct thing for this example.

Maybe I was not clear:  I think that the axes are correct, but the first yaxis point (56) should have its value
shown like the others and like occurs in other cases.  The fact that matlab gets this wrong is a clear
bug in matlab which should not be implemented in Octave.  Anyone reading the graph would like to
know what the axis limits are.

The scaling of the axes is determined by the "xlim" and "ylim" property values. The values of the tickmarks aren't intended to serve that function.

I am confused here.  When I execute:
set (gca (), "ytick", [56 70 84 98 112 126 140])
the scales change appropriately.  Do I need to set  xlim and ylim separately?
