This works for me.

Not sure what you mean here, but I don't see any bars or lines other
than the figure and axes.

It might help to share what commands you are actually running, and
attach an example image that shows the problems you have with the
output.

I grabbed your scatter_plot_3D.m script from an earlier thread, replaced
the odsRead with

  dataSet = 20 * rand (50, 3) - 10;

and ran

  scatter_plot_3D
  print ex.pdf

I come up with something like the attached (with Octave 4.0.2). I see
three sets of grid lines and I don't see any bars above or below the
plot area.
